Welcome to the July edition of The Recipe Box Swap! This month's theme is "BBQ-main dishes and sides". Whether you throw it on the grill, or eat it alongside, post your recipe on your blog and add your post URL to the auto-link below.
My contribution is "Aunt Cheryl's Baked Beans". My aunt gave me this recipe a number of years ago and it never fails to impress. I love it because it is easy and my hubs loves it because it has bacon---and lots of it!
This is where I need to apologize ahead of time for lacking a picture of the finished dish, but the week just got away from me. I don't know why I always think summer is going to be so full of free-time!!! So I give you a picture of some of the ingredients:
Aunt Cheryl's Baked Beans
2-28 ounce cans of Bushes Baked Beans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tsp. prepared mustard
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 pound bacon, partially cooked and crumbled or chopped
Stir together the first 5 ingredients and pour into a greased baking dish. Top with the bacon pieces (do not stir the bacon into the beans!). Bake for 45 minutes to one hour at 400 degrees. Stir in the bacon and serve warm.
Enjoy!
