Description
We are all busy people and time is precious. I kept that in mind when I decided to create this recipe. Sure you could buy dried beans and soak them overnight but if you are tight on time and want to whip this up quick and simple for your family grab canned beans instead.
I also believe baked beans should be a one stop meal not a side dish so I loaded it with meat; bacon, pork and sausage. Grab some toast or garlic bread, a side salad and your meal is complete.

- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
