This time of year, you’re probably looking for an easy baked beans recipe, and this one is my favorite. It’s the perfect recipe for baked beans, a great side dish to take along for barbecues and cookouts. Plus, I love it as a main dish too, with just a simple summer salad as a side.
The distinct flavor of the green onions combined with the bacon gives this easy baked bean recipe a traditional summer taste. It’s a time saver because the majority of your time will be spent frying the bacon and slicing the green onions, which won’t take very long at all, then it spends just about 15 minutes in the oven. That’s it!
This baked beans recipe is sure to become a tradition for your family, for summer get-togethers and camp-outs in the backyard. I hope you enjoy it!
