A delightful twist on a classic baked bean dish, combining rich flavors and a crispy topping for a satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter beans, ketchup, brown sugar, and diced onion.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the bacon pieces evenly over the top of the mixture.
Ensure the bacon is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle over the bacon.
The butter helps the breadcrumbs achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Bake the dish uncovered for 1 hour until bubbly and golden on top.
Check halfway through to ensure the topping doesn't overbrown.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Allowing the dish to cool enhances the flavors and makes it easier to serve.
