Awesome Baked Beans


I just have to share with you one of my new favorite recipes (again found on Pinterest).  These are some awesome baked beans.  The only comment I got from my family is to double the recipe next time.  I had only made half; unsure how it would turn out.  I will share with you the full recipe.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

2 (15 oz) cans Bush's pork & beans (the only one's in my book)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pkg  onion soup mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp prepared mustard
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
1 lb mostly cooked bacon

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients except bacon together and spread in a 9×13 dish. Top with cooked bacon. Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for 30 mins, then uncovered for 15 mins. (Makes one 9×13 dish)

1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
3 Tbsp. finely chopped red onion

1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Coarse salt

In a medium bowl, combine black beans, pineapple, jalapeno, red onion and lime juice. Season with salt and serve with tortilla chips.
