Mrs. Miller's Baked Beans

Mrs. Miller was my high school boyfriend's mother. I raved so much about her baked beans that she allowed my mother to have the recipe and it is one that I've enjoyed many times over the years. Mrs. Miller - salute!

Mrs. Miller's Baked Beans

Ingredients:
16 oz can pork and beans
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 of a large onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of ketchup
2 tablespoons molasses
2 drops of Tabasco Sauce or hot sauce (I prefer more so I use 2 shakes, not drops)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Pour pork and beans (do not drain) in an oven proof casserole dish and set aside. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add chopped onion and cook until onions are transparent, stirring continuously. Blend in ketchup, molasses, hot sauce, brown sugar, salt, and dry mustard. Increase heat and bring to a gradual boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and let simmer for one to two minutes. Pour mixture over pork and beans and mix well. Bake, uncovered, at 375 F for 45 minutes.

Enjoy! Dee
