Homemade brown sugar baked beans are an easy side dish! These baked beans are perfect for weeknights since they are so easy, but they are also the perfect side dish for a potluck!
These baked beans were a staple in my house growing up. For two reasons. One, because they are so delicious, everyone loved them. And two, because they are SO easy to make.
This is an easy side dish that pairs well with so many other dishes. It's got a little sweet from the brown sugar. The umami from the Worcestershire sauce. And then that added flavor kick from the mustard and onion.
I finally got the recipe from my mom, and we made them together over Christmas so I could see exactly how she did it and share with you guys!
