Baked Beans


Directions

Heat oil over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until onion and bacon are golden. Add remaining ingredients. Stir, bring to simmer, then place lid on. Then either turn down heat to medium low and cook on the stove for 1 hour, or bake at 350F for 60 minutes. The sauce should be thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste at the end.
