BACON BROWN SUGAR BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Drain the beans (do NOT rinse). (If you are baking the beans in the oven, don't drain as much-or not at all.).
• Mix in all other ingredients except bacon.
• If you're in a hurry, microwave for 2 minutes & skip the bacon. (This is my preferred method.).
• Stir and serve.
• Otherwise, put bacon on top and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
• Note: all amounts are approximate. Adjust to your taste.
