Brown Sugar & Bacon Baked Beans

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the 4 strips of thick bacon at the bottom of an oven-safe pan.
3. Cook the bacon in the preheated oven until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
4. Carefully add the 3 cans of beans to the same pan (you may choose to drain some bacon fat if desired).
5. Stir in brown sugar (to your desired sweetness) and the optional 1 tablespoon of white sugar.
6. Slice the stick of salted butter into pads and arrange them on top of the beans. You can mix them in if you prefer, but the recipe suggests letting them sit on top.
7. Slice the previously cooked bacon and add those slices on top of the beans and butter.
8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the bacon on top is finished and the beans are heated through and bubbling.
9. Stir before serving.
