I chopped up 1 cup of onions and minced 1 clove of garlic and added them to the pan used to cook the bacon. Cook until the onions are done. \u00a0After the beans were cooked and tender, it was time to get the Dutch oven ready to go. \u00a0I started some charcoal, poured the beans, onions, and garlic into a bowl, and added the following:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-3588\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Dutch oven baked beans with seasonings\" src=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/dutch-oven-baked-beans-with-seasonings.jpg\" alt=\"Dutch oven baked beans with seasonings\" width=\"315\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/dutch-oven-baked-beans-with-seasonings.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/dutch-oven-baked-beans-with-seasonings-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/>2 cups ketchup<br \/>\n1\/2 cup molasses<br \/>\n1 cup brown sugar<br \/>\n1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce<br \/>\n1 tbsp yellow mustard<br \/>\n1 tsp chili powder<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp paprika<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp salt<br \/>\n1\/8 tsp mustard powder<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp cumin<br \/>\n1 tsp black pepper<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp garlic powder<br \/>\n1\/4 tsp cayenne<\/p>\n<p>I mixed all this up and then poured the mixture into my Dutch oven. \u00a0I put the Dutch oven on the briquettes that I had prepared, about 10 on the bottom, 14 on the top, and cooked until bubbling, about 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-3589\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Tangy Dutch Oven Baked Beans\" src=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/tangy-dutch-oven-baked-beans.jpg\" alt=\"Tangy Dutch Oven Baked Beans\" width=\"245\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/tangy-dutch-oven-baked-beans.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/tangy-dutch-oven-baked-beans-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/>I had my parents over for dinner and got their thoughts on this recipe.

The only thing I'd do differently was to cook the beans a little longer before adding them to the Dutch oven.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>I hope you try these.
