BAKED BEANS WITH A KICK
Found online, these baked beans are really simple to make, and have a lovely balance of flavors. The bacon adds texture and a savoury sweet deliciousness. Since these beans are cooked uncovered, everything gets caramelized and the beans are not mush. Since every oven is different, check your beans at an hour and a half.
