Tasty! Ideally I'd love to find a baked bean recipe that doesn't actually include a can of baked beans, but until then, this one is good. If I made it again I'd add some Tabasco or cayenne to counter the sweet a bit (since they are really sweet). I swapped half the molasses for maple syrup (perhaps the source of the extra sweetness?) and next time will try it as written, just to compare. Cooked the bacon, sauteed the onions and garlic and then dumped everything in the slow cooker for 7 hours on low - the consistency was perfect. I find the garbanzo controversy in these reviews a bit odd - after all that cooking time, pretty much everything has the same flavor and texture, so it doesn't seem to matter which beans you use!

Just made these for a BBQ, super! I would cut back on the molasses, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce by 1/2. But otherwise best I've ever made. Have a lot of requests for the recipe.

This was my first attempt at baked beans and they were great! I made no changes, but this is one where you could add/omit things as you please to meet your tastes. Will definitely make again with some of my own additions and will try in the crockpot! Thanks!

I have made this recipe for every get together that my family has had so far this summer and it has been a hit each and every time. I did however change just a few things, first I subbed a different type of bean for the garbanza beans, I've used a different one each time and they were all great. I also used the OM microwave bacon instead of raw because I hate chewy pieces of bacon in things. I also used a spicy brown mustard. Otherwise it all stayed the same and turned out great each time.

I really loved this recipe! I added more bacon. Next time, I probably will substitute a softer bean for the garbanzo beans as they seemed a little too firm for this dish.

I made these for a BBQ on the 4th and they were a huge hit! I followed the recipe exactly except I left out the garbanzo beans and used a larger can of baked beans. I wasn't too sure about adding the molasses but since I already had it, I decided to go ahead and use it. I had several requests for the recipe and one of the guests begged to take the leftovers home. This will now be my recipe of choice for baked beans - thanks for sharing!

Fantastic!!! I throw in whatever canned beans I have on hand. this is a keeper!!

These are excellent! Made them for a BBQ, and even the non-baked bean eaters liked them! Made a few modification: Didn't use garbanzo beans, used Bush's Original Baked Beans instead. Reduced molasses to 1/4 c., and added 1/2 c. BBQ sauce, and 1/4 c. ketchup, used 3 large cloves garlic. Also increased bacon to 3/4 lb think cut bacon. Put everything in the crockpot...cooked on low for 6 hrs, took the lid off to allow thickening and cooked on high for 1 hr. It was PERFECT!

Outstanding beans. Didn't use the garbanzo beans at all. Doubled the recipe but used 4 cans of the baked beans. After cooking the bacon, onion, & garlic I mixed all ingredients together then cooked in a slow cooker for 4 hours. Made enough for two different parties and everyone loved it.

I made these beans for my daughter's wedding reception and they were a real hit! I received many compliments and was asked many times for the recipe. I followed the recipe and didn't change a thing, and I'll do the same next time I make the beans-there is no need for any modifications.

Absolutely Outstanding! As with almost everything I cook, I made a few (very few for me) changes. I added about 4 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 each small yellow, red and orange sweet peppers chopped, and a dash of cayenne pepper. I also substituted sweet onion for the onion and chili bottled sauce for the ketchup. One last thing. I mix everything in a 4" deep foil pan, cover with foil and cook them on the BBQ for an hour.

I've made this recipe dozens of times. Sometimes I change the bean quantities and types. It comes out tasting wonderful everytime.

This is an excellent baked bean recipe which also comes out very good in the crock pot. I follow the recipe as written with a couple of small short cuts -- I don't fry the bacon or saute the onion and garlic. Instead I use pre-cooked bacon pieces from the store and I just throw the bacon and chopped onion and garlic in when I mix up the rest of the ingredients. The last couple of times I've made this I've also thrown a can of black beans into the mix, but otherwise I don't really make any changes because it doesn't need any. THANKS for the yummy recipe!

very good....only added 2TBSP MOLASSES,2/3 CUP BROWN SUGAR AND 2TBSP BROWN SUGAR BAR-B-Q SAUCE....YUM

Excellent beans. Some changes I made. I rinse and drain all beans (except baked beans). Subbed black beans for the garbanzos. Added to taste a little minced chipotle in adobo for a little kick. Also, pre-cut the bacon into ½ inch pieces. Cook bacon in a cast iron pot until done and add the onions (and don’t drain any drippings) and cook until almost tender. Add the garlic about one minute before the onion is done. Stir in all beans EXCEPT the baked beans. Stir about one minute or so. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Bake in the cast iron pot in a 350-degree oven until desired thickness.

I made this for our Memorial Day BBQ with friends and family. I have to say the best recipe ever for baked beans. I love all kinds of beans, and to have them all in one sidedish was just wonderful! I used bottle bbq sauce instead of ketchup. I baked it in the oven the night before and then just through them in the crock pot on low the next day for the cookout. Awesome! Thanks Pat!

seriously the best baked beans ever. throw it all in a crock pot and take to any picnic or party. you wont be dissapointed!
