MOST EXCELLENT BAKED BEANS





Let me start out by saying that this is what the Sweet Potato Queens would call a "trailer trash" recipe. I have attempted and failed making baked beans from scratch. They never seemed to come out as good as these do. So I decided to go back to the tried and true "adding stuff to Campbell's pork and beans" method.
This recipe will make about three average servings.
You can double or triple it as needed.

1 can Campbell's Pork and Beans - 19 oz (or two 10 oz)
Black pepper (no salt, there is plenty in the canned beans)
A bunch of chopped up onion
2 TB brown sugar
A big splat of ketchup
A big splat of mustard
2 slices of bacon, crumbled

Mix all this stuff together, cover and let sit in the fridge for a few hours. It makes the flavors combine.
Then heat at 400° until bubbly.
