These Maple Bacon Baked Beans are a delicious twist on a classic summer side dish! This recipe is based off of my Instant Pot Baked Beans, but instead of using the instant pot, we’re actually baking the beans. They’re also taken up a notch with the addition of crispy bites of bacon for a smoky flavor twist that pairs deliciously with the sweeter flavors in the sauce. This recipe takes just 10 minutes to prep and is perfect for your next summer grill out! Serve them alongside The Best Burgers, Air Fryer Potato Wedges, Corn on the Cob and Easy Broccoli Salad and you have one of our favorite meals!

Tips and Notes for Maple Bacon Baked Beans
To prevent splatter, cover the baking dish with foil for the first portion of baking time. Be sure to uncover the dish for the last 15-20 minutes though so that the bacon can crisp up. Lay the bacon on top. Make sure you wait to add the bacon until everything is mixed. You’ll layer it on top of the beans so it doesn’t get soggy mixed into the sauce. Play with flavor. Since you’re making your own sauce, feel free to play around with the flavor of it. Want it extra spicy? Add more red pepper flakes. Prefer a sweeter sauce? Add more maple syrup. Make vegetarian Baked Beans. Just leave out the bacon!
