I LOVE this recipe. I did as some of the others suggested: soaked overnight, cooked for one hour, then made in the crock pot. I doubled the recipe so that I could use the whole bag of beans (1#). The only thing I added was a tsp. of cider vinegar and a dash of mustard. The first bite was a little sweet but after only a second I was in heaven. These taste so much better than canned beans and I know exactly what went into them. For the cost of one can of name brand beans, I made a whole crock pot full. Thank you for the great recipe. I am going to always have these on hand!!

EXCELLENT RECIPE! This is the 4th time in the past 2months I have made these BAKED BEANS from "scratch". I have added diced uncooked bacon because I like the added flavor. My area food-bank will be getting ALL the "canned bake beaned" in my cupboard. Frankly, I always used to "tweak" canned beans whenever I made them. Not only is this recipe more cost effective than canned but they are oh so much better on the 'YUMMY" FACTOR thanks WKNDYCHEF for taking the time to share this KEEPER of a recipe.

Whoever gave this less than 5 stars is drunk. I joined this website just so I could comment on this recipe. I soaked the dry beans overnight, threw them in the crockpot and decreased water to 3 cups. Added a 1/2 tsp of dry mustard and two slices of bacon in with all the other ingredients, and set the crockpot on low for eight hours. I came home from work and walked in the door and .. oh .. my .. god. The smell alone was enough to warrant the effort. Upon eating them, I died. Seriously. So good that I died. I'm using the allrecipes review forum as a medium from the other side. Excellent recipe.

I LOVED this recipe and so did everybody else! I made this for thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I'm not one for those spicy bean mixes, I'm definitely a sweet person, so this was perfect! I would useless water next time, I also cooked it in a slow cooker.

After reading alot of the reviews I decided to try this recipe and I'm so happy I did. My family loved the beans. I followed the recipe to the letter for the most part only adding green bell pepper and minced onions to my recipe and cooking them in the crock pot in the final step (that way I could go to sleep). I'll use this recipe again and again for my family.

These were really good - the sauce was thick and caramelized. I used all the cooking liquid from the beans adding it throughout the baking time. I followed the recipe exactly as written, but doubled it. That being said I won't be making this recipe again. The length of the cooking time combined with constantly having to monitor the beans when baking so they wouldn't dry out wasn't worth the taste payoff.

This recipe worked perfectly. The only things I did differently were partially cooking the chopped bacon beforehand so I could reduce the fat, and I just mixed everything together vs. layering. I was afraid the dish would be too sweet, but it wasn't. Good & easy, as long as you plan ahead. Thanks for the recipe!

I made Coney dogs and these beans for a side dish tonight! My family loved them! I don't like beans of any kind so I did not try them (sorry) but everyone said they were great. I added bacon to them and doubled the sauce, to the sauce I added vinegar and mustard. Thank you for the recipe my family has really enjoyed it!
