I used turkey bacon and added 1/4 cup water. I baked them at 400 for 35 min.

I brought these butter beans to a barbecue at my in-laws' and everyone LOVED them! "These are better than Bush's!" they said (and these people love their Bush's baked beans). The only thing I do differently is saute the onion in butter until it is soft and I bake them for just 1 hour. 1 1/2 hours is too long--the bacon will burn and the beans will dry out. Needless to say, I think these beans will be making a regular appearance at family barbecues from now on.

Not bad, but not as good as I would have thought when reading the other reviews. I followed the advice of another reviewer who added maple syrup and barbecue sauce, but I think maybe there was too much ketchup in these? I might make them again and experiment a little. I cooked them for about an hour at 200 and another half hour or so at 325 and didn't have any trouble with them drying out.

I did change a few things, I used 1/2 cup of brown sugar, great northern beans (all I had on hand) added 1 heaping Tbsp of barbeque sauce and 2 Tbsp of maple syrup. I also cooked them at 200 for an hour, they were to die for, I am making them for the 2nd time in 2 weeks today.

I think I over cooked them. Dry and bland. Next time I'll add more sauce and chopped jalepenos.

My husband is a butter bean fanatic so if HE likes this recipe, it has to be pretty good! So easy to make! My oven is "hot" so I checked on them every so often to make sure they didn't get too dry or burn. This one's a keeper in our house.

This was so simple and so YUMMY! The best for a 4th of July picnic or party. The only way I have ever seen the kids eat Lima beans (or a Lima relative thereof)

Not bad... i had never cooked with that kind of bean before. Our guests liked the dish a lot, and we did, too, but I have had better bean dishes, so i don't know that I'd bother with this one again.

I liked the BBQ sauce, but I used the large butter beans, and think it would have tasted a lot better with the smaller beans. The family does not care to have it again, although I would love to try it with the smaller beans.

WE did not like the taste of the beans and the tops were dried out. Maybe a different kind of bean would of been better.

This was actually the worst by following the directions - I would've kept the liquid or just rinse and add some liquid and only cook for 30mins to heat. I did put it all together about 30 mins. prior to putting it in the oven, but they were so dried out and basically burned - I would make again without cooking for so long.
