It comes from my mom and they often call it &#8220;Sweet &#038; Sour Baked Beans&#8221; as the sauce is slightly sweet and sour. It&#8217;s also easily scalable by adding more beans and onions, and of course, the bacon! I&#8217;m using some different beans in this version &#8211; the original version in America uses regular baked beans, butter beans, kidney and lima beans! <\/p>\n<p>Here are the beans I decided to use, easily found in any Italian supermarket:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/2405138198\/\" title=\"Beans for Barbecue Baked Beans with Bacon  by MsAdventuresinItaly, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2333\/2405138198_2ae5610b66.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Beans for Barbecue Baked Beans with Bacon \" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Barbecue Baked Beans with Bacon Recipe<\/h3>\n<p><em>Note: If I was making this in America, I would include a can of baked beans and I would omit the bean liquid and the tomato paste. This is the Italy version of this recipe. The sauce is slightly sweet &#038; sour.<\/em> 4-6 portions.<\/p>\n<p>3 large white or yellow onions, chopped<br \/>\n2t. dry mustard<br \/>\n4T. tomato paste<br \/>\n1\/2c. brown sugar<br \/>\n2-3T. vinegar<br \/>\n1 can borlotti beans (410g &#8211; 250g beans)<br \/>\n1 can cannellini beans (400g &#8211; 250g beans)<br \/>\n1 can Butter Beans (or fagioli di spagna) (400g &#8211; 250g beans)<br \/>\n1\/2c. liquid from Butter beans<br \/>\n150g. Bacon<br \/>\n1t. salt<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In a wide frying pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Set aside bacon to dry on a paper towel. Discard all but a few tablespoons of the drippings and add onions to dripping, cooking until translucent. Increase the heat, add the vinegar and quickly mix with the onions. <\/li>\n<li>Lower the flame, stir in brown sugar, mustard, and tomato paste. Mix well and then add the half cup of liquid from the Butter beans and cook at medium heat for 5-7 minutes.Taste the sauce at this point and add salt. <\/li>\n<li>Drain the cans of beans. If your pan is big enough, mix it all together there, or do it directly in the glass baking pan (as I do). Mix almost all of the crumbled bacon with the beans and sauce until they are well-covered. Sprinkle the rest of the bacon on top before putting it in the oven.<\/li>\n<li>Cook for 15-20 at 200C \/ 400F until the beans are heated and bubbly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/2404312309\/\" title=\"Barbecue Baked Beans with Bacon Ready to Eat by MsAdventuresinItaly, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2050\/2404312309_f93f544e4d.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Barbecue Baked Beans with Bacon Ready to Eat\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Adesso in Italiano&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Judith da <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithgreenwood.com\/thinkonit\/\">Think on It<\/a> ha avuto una bella idea \u2013 perch\u00e9 non prepariamo i nostri piatti americani preferiti con ingredienti e metodi che sono disponibili in Italia, e tradurre anche le ricette in italiano per i nostri amici che chiedono \u2018com\u2019e\u2019 la cucina americana oltre ai hamburger?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Cosi\u2019 e\u2019 nata <strong>Made in America, \u201cLa Buona Cucina Americana\u201d,<\/strong> e questa settimana tocca a me.<\/p>\n<p>Ecco i piatti precedenti di Made in America &#8211; ogni venerd\u00ec, un blogger americano diverso preparer\u00e0 un piatto.

Lasciatela raffreddare su un tovagliolo. Buttate tutto tranne 2-3 cucchiai di olio della pancetta, che deve essere riscaldato. Aggiungete le cipolle tritate, rosolandole finche sono tralucenti. Aumenta la fiamma brevemente e versate l\u2019aceto di vino bianco, e mescolalo con tutte le cipolle.<\/li>\n<li>Abbassa la fiamma e aggiungete lo zucchero con melassa, il concentrato di pomodoro e il polvere di senape. Mescola bene e poi aggiungete una meta\u2019 tazza del liquido dalla scatola dei fagioli di Spagna. Cucina a fiamma media per 5-7 minuti. Assaggia la salsa a questo punto e aggiungete il sale.<\/li>\n<li>Sgocciolate le scatole di fagioli. Se la pentola e\u2019 abbastanza grande, potete mescolare il tutto la\u2019, altrimenti mescola direttamente nella teglia (e\u2019 quello che faccio io). Mescola quasi tutto della pancetta sbriciolate con i fagioli e la salsa direttamente dentro la teglia. Il resto della pancetta, disponete sopra prima di infornarlo.
