Great recipe. I added about 2 cups of pureed cooked carrots after baking. My kids had no idea and LOVED it!

This have good flavor, the only thing that I changed was making sure that the bacon was fried up first, to be able to keep it low-fat. I also added some hamburger to liven up the flavor, too. I like my beans on the sweeter side so I also added a bit more brown sugar. You could also sweeten up the beans by adding a bit of maple syrup. I was embarassed by how many people asked for the recipe at a large get together recently. There just beans, but a huge, huge hit.

Great recipe, Only thing I did defferent was used salt pork instead of bacon, Don't use any salt with that change

I was in a hurry and had to use canned pinto beans instead and it was great! I cooked the bacon and onions together in one pan and made the sauce in another. I rinsed and drained the pinto beans, mixed them with the bacon, onions and sauce and it tasted great!

This was my first time making beans from scratch. I think they turned out great. I made them for a BBQ and came home with not much left. I made a double batch.

First time making beans and I must say they came out pretty darn good, at least thats what my guest say.. I my self don't eat beans. Was asked to make again so thank you for the recipe !!

I folowed the recipe exactly, the beans came out perfect. I made two big batches for the 4th of July and not one bean left over.. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm not a fan of canned beans at all, so was on the hunt for a homemade bean recipe that didn't start with a can of baked beans. This is a really great recipe, and super easy. I like foods that have a bit of heat to them, and about 1/2 tsp of Chipotle Chili Powder proved to be a great addition.

These were tasty. The recipe was a bit time consuming, but it's a good recipe. My family has a lot of food allergies, so this is the only way they can eat baked beans -- homemade.

Excellent bean recipe. I forgot the brown sugar and found it plenty sweet enough, with great flavor. I only had time to bake the beans for 1 1/2 hours, I think with another hour or so they would have been perfect. Great recipe, thank you for sharing!

I recently made this recipe for my daughter's and son's 13th and 5th birthday parties as a side. The only thing I did differently was buy the beans precooked in a jar, but followed the recipe for the rest of it. The beans turned out fantastic, and everyone loved them! Thank you so much for this recipe, I will be using it again for my boyfriends twins 5th birthday party and I'm sure it will be a success again!

These were good but too salty for our taste. My guests ate them but no one really commented so I'm not sure if they liked them or not. Also, I wouldn't say they were a lot of work but making them was certainly very time consuming. I was disappointed because I expected them to taste so much better than canned but they didn't. Not really worth the effort then, in my opinion.

I would give this 4 1/2 stars, if possible. Being from Boston, I made a couple of slight changes...I omitted the ketchup. I also added a dash of ground cloves. Instead of cooking in the oven, I decided, as others, to use my crockpot...No need to heat up the oven in the hot summer temperatures. I rinsed and covered the beans with water overnight. In my crockpot, I added 3 1/2 cups water, with the beans and all the other ingredients; stirred to combine, covered and cooked on the low setting for 12-14 hours (until the beans were tender and the sauce was thick). Excellent!

I've made these twice and oh my THEY ARE GOOD!!! Never using the canned beans again.
