Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Sauté diced onion in skillet over medium heat until tender, about 7 minutes.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until bubbly and thickened.

Notes

Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for heat.

Substitute honey or maple syrup for sorghum syrup/molasses.

Try baked beans or pinto beans for variety.

Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor.

Store leftovers airtight in fridge up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on stovetop or microwave.

Freeze up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.

Cover with foil if baking longer to prevent drying.

Reduce sugar and molasses for less sweetness.

Check Worcestershire and ketchup for gluten-free options.
