Baked Beans
July 15, 2011 in beans

I am baked bean obsessed. To say the least. It’s not uncommon for me to buy a can and then eat them everyday for a week straight. I eat them plain, on roasted sweet potatoes, on toast, pretty much any way you can imagine. But I’ve never made my own until recently.
Granted, this recipe starts out with a can of pork & beans but still… I made them, right?
I usually buy the super sweet Bush’s beans with maple syrup so this recipe was quite a change. It’s not sweet at all but it’s so delicious! If you wanted to take this to a large cookout, it’s very easy to double – double everything but the soup mix.

I love baked beans but my husband (who does most of the cooking) doesn’t like overly sweet recipes. This looks totally delicious & it’s got the power of bacon! Printing this up for hm to make over the weekend, thank you for sharing!
I haven’t made baked beans in a long time; this recipe looks great. I have never eaten them on toast but I love baked beans poured over potato chips.
I found your blog through Alabama Bloggers. I just moved to Fort Rucker and am looking around to see if there are any blogging groups in the area. I love your blog and love to cook also! The baked bean recipe looks good, I will have to try it.
best combination EVER!!! <3
