- 1 tsp yellow mustard
Instructions

- Mix in brown sugar, onion, green pepper, barbecue sauce and yellow mustard until combined.
- Bake uncovered at 60 minutes or until super bubbly.
- Stir beans together, rest for 10 minutes then serve.
Notes
If you want to add ground beef, simply season, crumble and cook it then drain and add to your bean mixture before baking.
Storage and Reheating
- Fridge: Let those beans cool to room temp then scoop them into airtight containers and pop in the fridge. They should keep for about 4-5 days.
- Freezer: Just add the room temp baked bean recipe to freezer-safe containers the same way. They should keep up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Thaw in the fridge overnight if frozen then reheat in an oven-safe dish with a foil cover at 350 F degrees for about 20-30 minutes until they are bubbly again. If you gotta speed up the process, pop in a microwave safe container into the microwave for about 2-4 minutes, stirring halfway through to keep the cooking even.
