A delightful twist on a classic baked bean dish, combining the sweetness of pineapple with the savory depth of beans and bacon.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
In a medium pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Crispy bacon adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté in the bacon fat until soft and translucent.
Cooking the onion in bacon fat enhances its flavor.
Combine the beans, pineapple, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in the pot with the onions. Stir well to mix.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and crumble the cooked bacon on top.
Adding bacon on top ensures a crispy texture.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring once halfway through.
Stirring prevents the edges from overcooking.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sweet and savory pineapple bean bake!
Cooling allows the flavors to settle and enhances the taste.
