REESA'S FAMOUS BAKED BEANS
�
In an oven-safe pan (I use an iron skillet) combine:
2 cans pork & beans - 1/4 cup tomato catsup
1 sm. onion, chopped -1/4 cup red (catalina) french dressing
1/4 cup molasses or dark Karo syrup -1/4 cup dk.brown sugar
Stir until well mixed, top with bacon slices, and bake until thickened in a 275* oven (about 45 min), stirring about every 15 minutes to prevent sticking.
I think these are better if they are cooked a day ahead and chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If you use an Iron pan to cook them in, transfer to a bowl before chilling.
