Notes

My Top Tips

♡ This recipe calls for 1 pound of bacon, which is then cooked well and crumbled. Generally, a pound of uncooked bacon will be reduced by half after cooking. Therefore, if purchasing already cooked bacon you will need ½ pound for this recipe.

♡ The absolute minimum baking time is 2 hours for the flavors to meld.

Make-Ahead, Storage, & Reheating Instructions

Refrigeration: Store leftover baked beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Leftovers can also be frozen for up to 2 months if packed in airtight containers.
Reheating: If reheating on the stove add a small amount of water to loosen the bean mixture. You can also gently reheat them in a microwave oven.
