Preparation:
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Open both cans of beans and drain off the juice. Pour the beans into a large, high-sided (aluminum preferably) pan. Take 6 of the pieces of bacon and cook well. Save the drippings to pour into mixture. Mix onion, brown sugar, syrup, orange juice, bacon drippings and barbecue sauce into a medium bowl. Pour mixture into beans and stir well. Push the 6 pieces of cooked bacon evenly into the bean mixture. Take the remaining uncooked bacon pieces and lay evenly on top of the beans. Place pan into pre-heated oven and bake for 2 to 21/2 hours till the beans look slightly dry or caramelized on top. Allow to cool till warm, then serve. |
