I received great compliments on this recipe. I cooked it according to the directions. I used a little less than 1/4 cup on the onions. I also used Bush's Original Baked Beans. This is a keeper for summer picnics or family gatherings. Thanks!

These were delicious! I baked for an additional hour because I don't like my beans runny. Probably could have gotten away with 1/2 hour. Very rich, southern flavor. Everyone devoured them. Great recipe!!!

I just made these beans yesterday for a Super Bowl Party. Not a single bean left. I added 1/4 cup Bourbon and 1/4 Barbeque sauce and they were pretty much the best baked beans I have ever had.

The family LOVED it! I made it for the holidays and they tore it up. Per my taste, I added some diced bell pepper, a little garlic and a little cayenne to set it off. Will remember this one during grilling season.

Don't get it. These are sub mediocre. Two stars is generous. I cooked the bacon first, cooked onions in bacon fat, and followed recipe from there. BORING! Keep looking.

Quick and easy! This is a classic picnic side dish that's always a hit at BBQ's. Other than cutting back on the molasses and brown sugar then adding a bit of liquid smoke I wouldn't change a thing. This definitely is a great way to take a regular 'ol can of baked beans and turn them into something special without a lot of effort!

A little too simple for us. Not much different that a can of Bush's Baked beans.

These beans rock! People who don't even like baked beans thought these were fantastic. Cook's Illustrated said "Bush's Best Original Baked Beans" have the best texture & rated them second best for taste so I started with them (NOT "Pork & Beans"). The ONLY way the recipe was altered was to par-cook the bacon in microwave (not a fan of limp bacon). These were quick, easy, and tasted great! What more could you ask for?

exactly the taste I was looking for. My husband and I had a craving for franks and beans but no canned baked beans in the house. I found this recipe, cut it in half, quickly mixed it up and let everything cook on the stove in a cast iron for about 20 min. to let the onions softened and the sauce reduce. Perfect! I'm sure it's even better baked in the oven but we were pretty hungry when we started on our quest.
