32 ounces pork and beans

2/3 cup Heinz Ketchup

1/4 bottle Heinz Cocktail Sauce

1 tablespoon onion flakes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Grandma s brand molasses

6 rashers bacon

Preparation: Dump the pork and beans in a Pyrex dish. Stir in the onion flakes, ketchup,

cocktail sauce, honey, and molasses. Cut the bacon into 1-inch strips and lay on top. Place

a lid over the dish and bake in a 325-degree Fahrenheit oven for at least an hour or until

the bacon is done. Vary the sweetness by adjusting the honey content. The horseradish in

the cocktail sauce provides the hot counterpoint. Adjusted it accordingly. The amount of

onions are a matter of taste, but they should not overpower the flavor of the beans. Lean

bacon adds more flavor than does fatty. Baking the beans for a longer period of time

improves the flavor, but they are best when served moist. Therefore, care must be taken (1)

to reduce the heat after an hour or so and (2) to remove the beans from the oven well

before they begin sticking to the sides of the dish.
