Here’s one of my favorite side dishes to take to summer potlucks and barbecues. These brown sugar baked beans with bacon are beyond easy. The kind of easy that seriously simplifies your day. They are so yummy that I always make extra. Because it’d be a bummer to run out of these sweet beans.
Everyone loves these savory yet sweet baked beans. They will think you slaved in the kitchen all day, soaking and cooking those beans. Little do they know that this bean dish took you about 3 minutes to assemble (yes, assemble) and just a bit of time in the oven. Let’s not tell ’em the secret.
This perfect BBQ side dish consists of canned beans, brown sugar, and just enough real bacon to give it that extra yummy factor. This bean dish is a favorite side, as it’s sweet, salty, and a little bit smoky all at the same time. It’s the perfect accompaniment to burgers, more burgers, chicken, or whatever you’re grillin’ up. It’s awesome next to a super easy and delish potato salad.
