A delightful twist on the classic baked beans, featuring a rich and smoky flavor profile.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Dice the yellow onion and chop the smoked bacon into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife for easier chopping.
In a large bowl, combine the diced onion, chopped bacon, hickory-flavored barbecue sauce, bottled chili sauce, light brown sugar, and canned baked beans.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Use a spatula to scrape all the mixture from the bowl.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is slightly caramelized.
Check occasionally to ensure the top doesn't overcook.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor.
