Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 slices of bacon chopped
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1-2 drops liquid smoke optional
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cans 28 oz each beans
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and liquid smoke until smooth. Set this aside.
  • Drain half of the liquid from the cans of beans and set them aside as well.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet (or any oven-safe pan) over medium heat. Cook the bacon pieces until they're partially done, then remove them and place on a paper towel. Add the onions to the skillet, cooking in the bacon fat for about 2 minutes, or until soft. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Stir in the drained beans, then pour in the sauce mixture. Combine everything well.
  • Top the mixture with the partially cooked bacon, and place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 1 hour or until the beans have thickened and are bubbling.
  • For a crispy bacon finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. When done, sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
