    Just like most baked bean recipes, this one is very easy to make. All you need to do is combine a bunch of ingredients into an oven-safe dish and bake for 1 ½ hours. Yes it's that easy.

    What makes this Copycat BBQ Baked Beans recipe unique besides the fact that it is the same one Hard Rock Cafe serves, is some of the unique ingredients it uses. The nice thing too is that you probably already have all the ingredients on hand needed to make this recipe.

    great side dish

    Hard Rock Cafe is a chain of theme restaurants founded in 1971. The first Hard Rock Cafe was in Hyde Park, London. A few years later the 2nd Hard Rock Cafe was opened in Toronto, Canada. From that point forward 100s more were opened worldwide.

    ⭐ Copycat Rating

    Since the goal of a Copycat Recipe is for it to taste exactly like the original, it's only natural to rate this recipe against the original. This Copycat recipe rates a solid 9 out of 10 in my opinion.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    If you don't have any dark brown sugar on hand you can substitute for some light brown sugar. Doing so will have a small effect on the color and the taste as dark brown sugar contains a little more molasses than light brown sugar.
