Instructions:

​

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Adjust the heat to "More" or "High" if available.

  2. Cook Bacon: Add the oil to the Instant Pot, followed by the bacon pieces. Allow the bacon to cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add Onion: When the bacon is about halfway to your preferred crispness, add the diced onion to the Instant Pot. Continue sautéing until the bacon and onions are cooked to your liking. This should take an additional 3-4 minutes.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the bacon and onions are done, add both cans of Maple Bacon Bush's Baked Beans, Spicy Brown Mustard, honey, Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

  5. Pressure Cook: Place the Instant Pot lid on, ensuring the venting knob is set to "Sealing" and not "Venting." Set the Instant Pot to cook on "High Pressure" for 10 minutes.

  6. Quick Release: When the timer is done, perform a quick release by turning the venting knob to "Venting" carefully to release the pressure. Be cautious of the hot steam.

  7. Stir and Serve: Once the pressure has been released, carefully open the Instant Pot lid. Give the baked beans a good stir to incorporate all the flavors.

  8. Enjoy: Serve your delicious Maple Bacon BBQ Baked Beans as a side dish at your BBQ or as a hearty accompaniment to your favorite grilled dishes.

Stove Top
How to make Doctored Bushes Baked Beans

Instructions:

​

  1. Cook Bacon and Onions: In a large, pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until they begin to get crispy, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Add the diced onion to the pot with the bacon and continue cooking until the onions become soft and translucent, and the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. This should take an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low and add both cans of Maple Bacon Bush's Baked Beans, Spicy Brown Mustard, honey, Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.

  4. Simmer: Allow the baked beans to simmer over low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the beans to absorb the delicious sauce.

  5. Serve: Once the baked beans are heated through and have reached your desired consistency, serve them as a side dish at your BBQ or alongside your favorite grilled dishes.

  6. Enjoy: These stovetop Maple Bacon BBQ Baked Beans will be just as flavorful and delicious as the Instant Pot version. They make a perfect addition to any outdoor gathering or summer meal.

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Maple Bacon BBQ Baked Beans recipe:

​

  1. Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes, you can make these baked beans ahead of time. They often taste even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave when ready to serve.

  2. Can I freeze these baked beans? Yes, you can freeze these baked beans. Allow them to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or resealable bags. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and reheat before serving.

  3. Can I use different types of beans? While this recipe specifically calls for Maple Bacon Bush's Baked Beans, you can certainly use different types of canned baked beans, such as regular or vegetarian. Adjust the seasoning and sweetness to your liking if needed.

  4. What can I serve with these baked beans? These baked beans are a versatile side dish and go well with a variety of grilled or barbecued foods. They pair nicely with burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, ribs, and more. Cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad are also great accompaniments.

  5. What's the best way to reheat leftover baked beans? To reheat leftover baked beans, simply warm them in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave in a microwave-safe container. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.

  6. Can I make this recipe without an Instant Pot or stovetop? If you don't have access to an Instant Pot or stovetop, you can prepare this recipe using a slow cooker. Follow the same steps for sautéing the bacon and onions in a separate pan, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until heated through and flavorful.

  7. Is it possible to reduce the sweetness of the dish? If you find the dish too sweet for your taste, you can reduce the amount of honey and BBQ sauce. Start with half the recommended amount and taste as you go, adding more if needed to achieve your desired level of sweetness.

  8. Can I make this recipe with fresh beans instead of canned? Yes, you can use fresh or dried beans, but you'll need to soak and cook them separately before adding them to the recipe. Canned beans are more convenient and save time.

  9. What can I do if my beans are too thick or too thin? If the beans are too thick, you can add a little water, broth, or tomato sauce to thin them out. If they're too thin, continue to simmer them uncovered to allow excess liquid to evaporate and thicken the sauce.
