Back when I was in my food network phase (yeah, no tv now, so what ya gonna do?) I found this awesome recipe on an episode of Paula Deen. I can't take credit for the recipe, but I tell ya- my fam is no fan of baked beans- but these things go away! Tyr it, but warning- it makes a lot!

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In large bowl, mix together beans, pineapple, molasses, BBQ sauce, mustard, bacon, and a third of the onions. Add some salt and pepper, to taste. Pour beans in 9 by 13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle remaining crushed onions and bacon on top. Cook in oven for 1 hour or until beans brown and bubble. Serve warm.
