Maple Baked Beans aren’t just for summer bbq, they make a great side for that Easter ham.

Starting to plan your Easter dinner? It’s not that far away. Even though I love love love me some delicious turkey, I usually plan for a roasted ham at Easter. My famous Maple Baked Beans as a side to the ham along with a big green salad, wow, a simple and delicious meal!!

Maple Baked Beans_2 O.K. so is it weird to be famous for baked beans? These beans are (’cause you know me by now…) really thick, sweet and gooey. I love the mix of maple syrup and smoky bacon with the hearty texture of the beans. I also love the fact that because you use canned beans, it comes together in no time flat (’cause you know me by now…).


Maple Baked Beans_1 Maple Baked Beans_3 See that big chunk of bacon? These Maple Baked Beans have a lot of bacon. Yes, almost a whole package. If you don’t like bacon, turn away now. Keep in mind baked beans are really hearty and filling (great fibre) so you only need a small amount to get your fill. Don’t feel guilty, dig in!

Ingredients
  

  • 8-12 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 540mL cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed.
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water - optional - It depends on how thin you like the sauce. I like mine thick, so I don't add any water. Add more if you like it thin.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet, fry bacon until almost cooked. Remove to a small bowl. Drain fay leaving ¼ cup in pan.
  • Add onions and sauté until softened. Bring bacon back to pan and stir in all other ingredients. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for one hour. Remove from oven and stir. Serve as a main dish or great side to ham.

    Interesting to see kidney beans as I usually associate Navy Beans with baked beans

    540 mL equals how many ounces? I have 2 cans of beans equaling 31oz.
    Thank you,

    I found this recipe at Easter time of 2021 and absolutely fell in love with it. I do make my own baked beans, but wanted to try somethung different for once. I am now making them for a 2nd time for a Memorial Day cookout. This time, I added 1/8 cup of Whiskey to the measuring cup before adding the rest in water. Kick it up a skosh. Thank you for an amazing recipe!
