Baked Beans With Bacon

A summer BBQ isn’t complete without these easy-to-make sweet and savory baked beans with bacon.

There’s a time and place for extravagance when it comes to hosting and entertaining.

A summer BBQ isn’t one of those times. I mean, unless you’re summering in the Hamptons and can afford the luxury of having your event catered.

But, even then you’re not the one cooking, right?

No, summer BBQs call for easy breezy comfort food.

Things you can pull together with simplicity and a little finesse so that your focus can be on enjoying the party, and not sweating over the stove.

These baked beans with bacon are the epitome of ease.

They also taste really, really, really good.

There’s nothing like a sweet, savory, salty combo to win anyone’s heart over.

And the fact that this recipe’s pulled together in one single cast iron skillet … well, it’s like the icing on the cake.

Pair this with burgers and dogs, or (if you’re like me) just grab a bowl and make these baked beans with bacon your main course!

Green Giant, the iconic vegetable brand, has introduced a new line of baked beans at Food Lion, Schnucks and Giant Eagle just in time for summer.

Available in Original, Maple, Vegetarian and Country Style varieties, these delicious baked beans are ideal for incorporating into recipes or as a great standalone side dish for summer BBQs.
