Bf said he really liked these but could do without the onions and with less bacon. I used turkey bacon and less of it, but it definitely was a bit of bacon overkill. I also got a little crazy with the water--I cooked in the crockpot so probably didn't need as much. I used canned (don't have dry right now) and used 1 can of kidney and one can of black beans. Tastes great in the crockpot, so I'm sure it would be even better baked in the oven as directed. Thanks for the recipe! We'll make again with less bacon and onion powder instead of onions.

I was relieved to find a recipe without any canned beans! I used white beans, and a combination of molasses and maple syrup rather than sugar. We took it to a BBQ, and it went so fast, I had to scrape the pan to get a taste!

I used Great Northern Beans and baked for 6 hours. I forgot to soak the beans overnight - but boiled them for 10 minutes or so and let them sit for an hour. This was worth having the oven on all that time. Everyone loved these! *** UPDATE*** Tried again with Kidney beans, but put in a crockpot cause it was too hot for the oven to be on all day. They were good in a crockpot - but sooo much better with Northern in the oven. . . COOK the bacon before you add it to the beans and bake.

This recipe is a very good starting place. If you like sweet beans with no hotness or spice, this is for you. I will make this again, but will add some zip to it. Jalapeno, hot sauce or something like that. Very flavorful. Kids love the sweet taste, but need to get paste the texture of kidney beans!

We loved these beans, they were so easy to prepare! I have a recipe for beans that is similar in flavor but much more labor intensive! These beans rock!!!
