Quick Classic Baked Beans

Preheat broiler to high.

Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until crisp.

Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving drippings.

Add onion and thyme sprigs to drippings in pan; saut 3 minutes.

Add garlic; saut 1 minute. Stir in broth and remaining ingredients; reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Discard thyme.

Remove from heat; stir in bacon. Broil 4 minutes or until bubbly and edges are crusty.
