Directions

This recipe was shared with Our Ohio by one of Wildman’s Spice Company’s customers. It feeds a crowd so it’s an ideal dish for a potluck or picnic. Consider using a 9×13-inch disposable, foil lasagna pan for this recipe. Drain the baked beans and add them to the pan. Mix in the chopped bacon, preserving about 5 or 6 strips to lie across the top of the beans while baking. Add all of the other ingredients and mix well. Lay bacon strips on top. Bake uncovered at 350 for 3 hours. Pull out of oven at least 30 minutes prior to serving to allow them to firm up a bit.
