Not too bad! I did not want to go to the store and happened to have everything in the house for this! I reduced brown sugar to 1 cup, used 1 lb of hot dogs, omitted white sugar, used the juice from the pineapple and bush's baked beans and then I thickened the sauce with instant potatoes! Turned out great!

We just threw this one together for dinner on the stove top, not the crock pot. I took the advice of previous reviews and cut back the sugar. As one who lives in Hawaii, I know that adding pineapple to a recipe makes it "Hawaiian" in the eyes of some cooks. But what Hawaiian really means (tongue in cheek) is "serve over rice." This recipe was excellent over rice! It took up all the extra fluids. And yes, Hawaiians eat rice with everything, breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I gave it 4 stars because it tastes pretty good and is a good budget friendly pot luck option. For those who had problems with it being too sugary, try using regular pork and beans rather than "baked beans". I left out the white sugar due to comments about it being too sweet but think I could easily add it in without a problem; other than the pineapples themselves this didn't turn out sweet for me at all. If the liquid was more like a sauce and less watery this would be a 5. I have it sitting on low now so maybe some of that liquid will evaporate off.

I decided to make a 1/2 batch to test it out. I took the advice to cut sugar in 1/2, thank goodness I did that because it was still SUPER sweet! I think next time I will cut it down even a bit more... ;)~ I did also include about 2 tablespoons dijon mustard to help cut the sweet a bit and it seemed to help. Was so super easy, quick, fun and yummy too! Not so much a "dinner" type of entree but would be great for potluck, party, kids party, big gathering, etc. Thanks for posting D Cotton!! :)

I made this for my office party potluck. I added a small amount of jalapeno's and some canned diced up green ortega chile and it was a huge hit... Everyone wanted to know what that wonderful smell was in the office as it warmed up. I will for sure make this again.. Super easy.

This was alright. There was not nearly enough for a meal for me and my daughter and I brought it down to 10 servings. Then it was just okay and sweet enough with just a half a cup of brown sugar. Any more and it would have been too sweet.

Yes I was surprised!! I threw in 3 cans of pork and beans 11oz. campbells, large can of pineapples w/ juice, 8 pack of hotdogs, sauted a small onion and few dabs of hot sauce. I added NO SUGAR. Put in slow coooker on low for 3 hours. I did not stir it and the hotdogs had a nice little brown on them. The pineapples really make this different and I think next time ill wait a half in hour before done to throw them in. This is a cheap and easy meal. I had everything on hand and wasnt expecting to much but this came out good. I think next time I wont even cut the hotdogs and have it on a bun! Yum! thank you:)
