Creating these Brown Sugar and Bacon Baked Beans is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
3. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add the diced onion to the bacon drippings. Cook until the onion is soft and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beans, bacon, sautéed onion, brown sugar, ketchup, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bean mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. Uncover to Finish: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to caramelize slightly.
8. Let Cool: Take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

With these steps, you’ll have a delightful dish ready to amaze your family and friends.
