If you're looking for a unique and absolutely delicious baked beans recipe, I will recommend trying this Hawaiian Baked Beans recipe every single time. It's a family favorite and my mom makes it with almost every meal. That's how much we like it. But if you want a twist on a classic recipe that doesn't use any surprise ingredients, this Sweet and Spicy Baked Beans recipe will be right up your alley. 

Standard cans of regular ol' pork and beans are the base of the dish, and then the flavor is amped up using a few common ingredients. And bacon. Of course there's bacon. The sauce is sweetened up with brown sugar, and then gets a little spice from the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard. And did I mention bacon? Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp. garlic, minced
• 2 (15 oz.) cans pork and beans
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp. light brown sugar
• 1 tsp. dry mustard
• 1 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Meanwhile, remove all but 2 tsp. bacon grease from the pan. Turn the heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cool until onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

In a 8x8" glass dish (or a small casserole dish), mix the bacon, onion mixture and the remaining ingredients.

Cook for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
