Everybody in my family liked this, though we all found it too sweet. The long cooking definitely adds a richness and depth of flavor.
I added mustard in with the ketchup mixture, and a half pound of partially cooked bacon and some leftover grilled bratwurst.
I also found the beans quite soupy, though that may be because I cooked them in a cast iron Dutch oven and couldn't drain them well after the initial boil. (The soupiness was corrected with cooking after the first three hours at 225 and then for 1/2 hour at 400 before serving, as I was baking muffins.)
Next time I think I will omit the maple syrup and use only the brown sugar, and again add mustard and bacon.
