A delightful take on classic baked beans, enhanced with a touch of maple syrup and smoked paprika for a rich and satisfying flavor.
Chop the smoked bacon into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and ensure even cooking.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown but remains soft.
Avoid overcooking the bacon to maintain its tenderness.
Dice the yellow onion finely.
Dicing the onion finely helps it blend well with the beans.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the canned baked beans and diced onion to the mixture and stir well.
Ensure the beans are well-coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with the cooked bacon.
Spread the bacon evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, uncovered.
Baking uncovered allows the top to caramelize slightly, enhancing the dish's texture.
Let the baked beans cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
