Ingredients
- 8 ounces bacon, diced, cooked and drained (3 tablespoons bacon grease reserved)
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Three 15-ounce cans pork and beans, 1 can drained of juice
- 3/4 cup raisins, chopped
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup puffed rice cereal
- 1 cup diced hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup cooked, diced bacon
- 11 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter, melted
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- For the baked beans: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the reserved bacon grease and the onions and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the beans and stir. Add the raisins, maple syrup, bacon, chili powder and some salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for about 20 minutes, until thick, stirring often to avoid sticking. Meanwhile, make the topping.
- For the puffed rice topping: In a bowl, mix together the rice cereal, hamburger buns, bacon, melted butter and some salt and pepper. Pour into a medium cast-iron skillet and toast over medium heat, stirring, until light brown, about 15 minutes. Pour the topping over the beans and enjoy.

Reviews
I have made this recipe 3 times and gotten rave reviews and requests for the recipe. People are shocked when I tell them I start with canned beans. Jason, you rock!!!
Super creative and super flavorful. I would’ve never thought to put all of this together. I hope to see many more recipes from Jason on here, and I really hope he gets his own show. He’s such a joy to watch.
This is a great and creative recipe. And Jason is fantastic and should definitely win Food Network Star!
This is an awesome -and easy to make- BBQ feast goodie! Did a test run today for our ‘pre 4th’ grill out and they were awesome! Sweet and tangy, just like we like em!
