Given the amount of molasses and brown sugar in this recipe, I can only rate this a weak two stars. I used half the amount of each and hubs said if I had used what was called for it would have tasted only of molasses and sugar. I sauteed the bacon and onion and added it to the beans with the remaining ingredients, then just threw it in the slow cooker. While these beans were acceptable (three stars with half the sugar and molasses), they are not extraordinary in any way. Frankly, I think a can of Bush's Homestyle Baked Beans would have been just as good without the additional effort of doctoring up a can of pork and beans.

The flavor these were really good, but three hours baking time is way too long! My husband kept an eye on them for me while I was out, and they got a little too crisy on top. If I make them again I will keep an eye on them and maybe let them only bake for two hours.

This is an easy, basic, and adaptable recipe! I doubled it to make 20 servings for a 50th birthday bash, and got two great compliments, one from the birthday boy and one from the best cook in the family. I did it in the crock pot, and found that very convenient. However I would make a couple changes: I used 4 cans of pork and beans, in the future I will drain two of them. Some of the bean liquid is needed but there was too much. Also, it is a little on the sweet side so I might decrease the amount of sugar. A few too many onions for our liking as well. The recipe was unclear about whether the bacon should be cooked first, although I assumed it should be and in the end we agreed that was a good idea. Finally, the molasses I had used was apple cider molasses. I'm not sure how much of a difference that made but it would be interesting to try it with "regular" molasses.

I made these for a Christmas dinner at work. I bought a 72 oz can of beans. I didn't have any molasses so I used honey. I used about half the amount of bacon and onion. I can't count how many compliments I got. Everyone LOVED them! I am always looking for a good baked bean recipe. I will look no further!

These were very tasty & traditional! I doubled the recipe and added more bacon than called for since we really like the flavor. I also started mine in the slow cooker for 2 hours then transferred to the oven for the last hour. Some people said they were soupy but in that case, they needed to be cooked longer. Thanks Brandi for a great recipe!

nice to have a recipe you don't need to change or add to and have it come out tasting great. I have made this without molasses and it still taste good, I do think the molasses makes a difference and would encourage using it if you can.

These were exactly what I was hoping for when I made this recipe! All they needed was a little chopped green pepper and they could have been straight from my beloved Grandma's oven! I didn't chop the bacon, just laid 5 strips across like my mom makes. A snap to make, 5 stars all they way.

I've been making my baked beans like this for years. The only thing that I do differently, is that I layer onions and 3/4 lb of bacon on the top of the beans. The bacon flavors the beans and it gets really crispy on the top. I get rave reviews for my beans wherever I take them!
