Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat oven to 325°F and grease a baking dish.
- Cook diced onion in a saucepan for 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, paprika, and pepper until smooth.
- Add drained beans and fold gently so beans stay intact.
- Transfer mixture to baking dish and spread evenly.
- Cover and bake 45 minutes until hot and bubbling.
- Uncover and bake 25 to 30 minutes until sauce thickens and edges turn sticky.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving for the best spoonable texture.
Notes
For softer texture, keep covered longer. For crispier caramelized edges, uncover earlier and extend baking time. Freeze cooled portions up to 2 months. Stir gently during assembly to avoid broken beans. Add bacon, jalapeno, or maple for flavor changes. Store refrigerated up to 5 days.
