This recipe combines a little sweetness with a little spice the perfect combination. They’re sure to be gobbled up at your next barbecue or potluck.
Here is the link to my favorite cast iron pan that I use for just about everything. I love that I can use it on the stove, in the oven and on the grill.
I like to par cook the bacon, to make sure the bacon gets enough time to get crispy while baking in the oven. Plus the extra bacon grease works wonders to saute the onions and garlic in.
Sometimes when it’s to hot to turn on my oven, I just throw the skillet on my gas grill, turns out perfect every time. The beans stay warmer for longer being in the cast iron skillet, nobody likes cold beans.
These baked beans are the perfect side dish to some of my most popular recipes.
