- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining bacon on top. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the beans are bubbly and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or a hearty addition to your meal.
