Tips:

  • Don't skimp on the bacon. Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the beans. It's worth the extra calories!
  • Use a good quality ketchup. Ketchup is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a ketchup that is thick and flavorful.
  • Add some brown sugar. Brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness to the beans. It also helps to caramelize the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the beans. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender.
  • Serve the beans with a side of cornbread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
