    Very good recipe but I found it to be a little too sweet

    • 24 years ago

    I like to use some molasses instead of all brown sugar. Try 1/3c molasses and 3T of brown sugar. Make plenty kids love it!

    • 24 years ago

    This is a real good recipe for baked beans. Be prepared for compliments!

    • 24 years ago

    Followed the recipe to a T. My guests loved it! I asked them if they thought it was TOO SWEET, they said no! Told me to hold on to this recipe. These Baked Beans out did the other side dishes I served. Guests went back for seconds. Oh, well…guess EVERYONE has different taste on sweet. Thank you Jackie : )

    • 24 years ago

    I attended a Memorial Day party and was asked, along with another mother, to bring baked beans. At the end of the party I felt so bad . . . my baked beans were GONE, and hers weren’t even touched. EVERYONE asked me for the recipe!!

    • 24 years ago

    This recipe was well received at a recent cook out. Sweetness was just right. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

    • 24 years ago

    Very good & very easy!!

    • 24 years ago

    Great recipe. My son thought they were a bit too sweet, but it would be easy to cut down on the sugar. I substituted vegetarian baked beans for the pork and beans.

    • 24 years ago

    This is the best recipe for baked beans that I have ever tried. I fixed these for a family gathering and everyone thought they were awesome.

    • 23 years ago

    I made this the other night,my wife not being a big fan of baked beans had 2 helpings,very tasty!!

    • 23 years ago

    Very good and easy to make. I used less sugar than the recipe called for with good results.

    • 23 years ago

    WOW! These are the best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. I made this dish for my father’s birthday bbq, and EVERYONE wanted to know how these were made. Delicious.. you’ll swear off canned baked beans forever!!!

    • 23 years ago

    This was the second best baked beans recipe ever! The best would be my mother’s, but that takes all day to make, so I only make it on special occasions. This will be my main recipe from now on. So easy to make, had all the ingredients on hand, and wonderful taste. I think the vinegar had a lot to do with the taste, because there was a hint of tartness, which I loved. My son won’t touch the beans, but my 4 yr old and 2 yr old daughters loved it!

    • 23 years ago

    I really like this recipe it was great and easy to use. thanks

    • 23 years ago

    This is an excellent recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    I had this recipe for my husband family gathering and it was the best bake beans I ever had, even for the kids that don?t like baked beans and they eat them. I will recommend it.

    • 23 years ago

    My family and friends love this recipe. I make it for all our barbecues. However, I cook the bacon first (not crispy) just enough to get a little of the fat and saute’ the onions in the fat. It’s a fantastic recipe. Tastes like Grandma’s all-day beans!

    • 23 years ago

    Got lots of compliments! Thanks!

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful dish!!!

    • 23 years ago

    I really didn’t care for this recipe. Though I’ve made baked beans somewhat like this in the past, these just tasted too sharp (for lack of a better word.)There’s no way one could sit down with a large bowl of these beans and a piece of corn bread…the taste was too strong.

    • 23 years ago

    Thank you so much. It is not often I can impress my husband with a recipe. This one, however, pleased him as well as my four children who range from age 3 to age 7. There aren’t many recipes that can achieve such high expectations. As for myself, I haven’t tasted a better baked beans recipe since my mother’s, and I would put these in a race with her’s any day!

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful recipe-a definite keeper! My 3 year old, a picky eater, helped me make this last night, and then she ate a large serving. She asked me when we could make it again. DELICIOUS!

    • 23 years ago

    This was super easy and super tasty. I used veg. baked beans and did not use the bacon.

    • 23 years ago

    Great recipe! I made it for my child’s 1st birthday party and everybody loved it. Easy recipe and great flavor too!!

    • 23 years ago

    Add a little extra liqud before baking, this dish tends to be a bit on the dry side

    • 23 years ago

    Great recipe. I slightly browned the bacon in a skillet then sauted the onion in the bacon grease. This was great.

    • 23 years ago

    My husband made these for Mother’s Day, and they came out great. Could have possible cooked a little longer to thicken up a bit, but they thickened up after they sat a while.
    Very quick and EASY recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    Made this for a BBQ Memorial Weekend and everyone loved it! I baked it for one hour and then took it to the BBQ and placed it in a low heat oven while the steaks were BBQ’d. It was perfect – not to juicy and not to dry. Got many compliments. Thanks Jackie. This will be my permanent baked bean recipe.

    • 23 years ago

    My first attempt at “homemade” baked beans… What a success! I actually made them in a crockpot though so I wouldn’t have to crank up the oven. I left the lid off for awhile to allow the moisture to evaporate, though the broth was still a little runny. They were a big hit at our cookout! Many went back for seconds and thirds! UHOH!!

    • 23 years ago

    These were good and had good flavor. I cut the measurements in half and used 2 cans baked beans as the recipe stated. The description said pork and beans so next time I will try that. I used 1/4 cup molasses as another reviewer suggested and no brown sugar and they were still a little bit sweet, next time I will use less.

    • 23 years ago

    This was very good. Although beans weren’t very thick when they came out of the oven, they did thicken as they cooled. The vinegar and mustard give this dish a little kick. I will definately use this recipe whenever I make baked beans.

    • 23 years ago

    Really liked it and I don’t usually like baked beans. Only added quarter cup of brown sugar and it was plenty.

    • 23 years ago

    I thought this dish was wonderful! This was only my second time ever to make homemade baked beans, and I will definitely use this recipe for now on. Even my picky husband liked it!

    • 23 years ago

    This is a wonderful baked bean recipe. Since we are vegetarians, I use Vegetarian Baked beans and omit the bacon. The results are great!

    • 23 years ago

    They were good…Just Like Mom’s…I can never pin her down on the exact
    ingredients…Now I don’t Have To!

    • 23 years ago

    This was wonderful!!! I was a little skeptical about the balsamic vinegar at first, and I was running low on time, so I put the beans in the microwave instead of the oven and they still turned out great 🙂

    • 23 years ago

    This just might be the only baked beans recipe I use from now on. Even family who don’t eat baked beans enjoyed them. Not too sweet like some other recipes.

    • 23 years ago

    I’m not a baked beans fan but this recipe is great! I got rave reviews.

    • 23 years ago

    These are great!

    • 23 years ago

    Good recipe and quite easy!

    • 23 years ago

    hello i’m Dan the man Willis and i love baked beans i even like the added bit of pork it was delicious. I have 2 goldfish one called baked and the other called beans. As it was their birthday i made it them for a treat. Yum, yum!

    • 23 years ago

    I took this to a 4th of July cookout, and everyone loved them. The guests thought I made them completely from scratch. Note: I used Bush’s Beans.

    • 23 years ago

    So tasty. Thank you for this recipe. I love to add more brown sugar but overall it is pretty good.

    • 23 years ago

    A real hit!! Thanks!

    • 23 years ago

    I loved this recipe, and so did my friends at the BBQ I took it to. I did get a little more liberal with the brown sugar than the recipe called for, though.

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful recipe! My picky family loved it and ate every bite. I intend to fix this often.
    Thank you for this one.

    • 22 years ago

    This is very easy and very tasty.

    • 22 years ago

    I was not overly impressed with this recipie. If a person added a few different kind of beans it would probably be much better. I used Bushes canned beans which are flavorful enough without all the added work of this recipe. Too thick and saucy for our taste.

    • 22 years ago

    This dish was wonderful. We all loved it. It was a little runny but still really good.

    • 22 years ago

    I loved these beans!! They were a huge hit with my friends and hubby, too. The bacon really adds flavor. Absolutely delish!

    • 22 years ago

    This was a delicious and EASY recipe for baked beans. I made it for a big family dinner and got TONS of compliments on it. Everyone asked for the recipe!

    • 22 years ago

    Super recipe! Very easy, I used the crockpot so the kitchen wouldn’t get hot. Wonderful flavor, a new family favorite.

    • 22 years ago

    I wasn’t that impressed. They were a little too runny for my taste and I had quite a lot left over after my barbeque. Probably will not make again.

    • 22 years ago

    I’ve been making baked beans for over 20 years, so I’ve tried many ways of fixing them. This is definitely one of my favorites! Something about the combination of the ingredients really makes this recipe a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

    • 22 years ago

    Very good flavor! Made recipe a day ahead so flavors could ripen. Served in a crockpot on low. Also cooked it a little longer to thicken sauce. Delicious! Lots of compliments.

    • 22 years ago

    Best bean recipe ever! I use it all the time now, but just remembered to write a review. Thanks for a new favorite recipe!!!

    • 22 years ago

    These beans are great! I only used 1/4 cup each of brown sugar and ketchup, so there was no problem with it being “runny”. I also cooked 4 slices of bacon then chopped it and mixed it in. That way I could use more bacon, but keep the grease out.

    • 22 years ago

    These were very easy, I put them in the crockpot for a few hours. They were a little runnier than I’m used to, but they were good. Thanks Jackie-

    • 22 years ago

    VERY good! I made this for my daughter’s birthday picnic, and they were gone in no time flat! My relatives all asked for the recipe, too.

    • 22 years ago

    Very Good!! I think I will cut down on the brown sugar next time because it was a little too sweet for our taste. I used Bush’s beans and they are already sweet. Also I crumbled cooked bacon in with the beans to cut down on the grease.

    • 22 years ago

    I have always made my beans in a crock pot and cook them all day. I made these last night and while I said they were pretty good, my husband said he thought they were the best beans he has ever had. I used powdered mustard and added some arrowroot to thicken them a bit. I had no choice but to write this when he said today, let’s make these again tonight. Looks like a winner, thanks Jackie.

    • 22 years ago

    I normally soak navey beans and do beans the long way, but this was a nice change. Quick & easy.

    • 22 years ago

    Yummy! My boyfriend said these baked beans remind him of some that he used to eat at a restaurant in Louisiana. My only suggestion would be to change the 1/2 cup of ketchup to 1/4 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup mustard. I topped mine with 8 slices of extra lean turkey bacon, and it was great. We gobbled up every last bit the next day at lunch

    • 22 years ago

    These are the best I’ve ever made. Everyone loved them. I didn’t change a thing.

    • 22 years ago

    I tweaked this just a little…..cooked 8 slices of bacon till crisp, removed, and sauteed onion and 3-4 cloves of garlic in the bacon grease..finally, I cooked about a pound of hamburger and added all of the above to the original recipe, and placed in a crockpot for 3-6 hours on low…great taste.

    • 22 years ago

    Mmm Mmm Good. Sweet and the bacon comes out so tasty.

    • 22 years ago

    I tried this recipe for Thanksgiving. It was certainly a crowd pleaser. I didn’t change a thing. It was wonderful. Thanks

    • 22 years ago

    Great baked beans. I made them for a family get together. They were a huge hit. I have been told not to come without them next year.

    • 22 years ago

    Easy to make and a BIG hit at the office, backyard cookouts, and groups of all ages. My picky 11 year old asked for triple servings!!

    • 22 years ago

    This was so easy. I made it for an office party in my crock pot and it was a big hit.

    • 21 years ago

    At first I wasn’t sure if this would be good because the ingredients seemed strange. I threw all of it in the crockpot on low for 2 hours, and WOW! It was sure yummy. I would suggest having it with some BBQ chicken or something like that. YUM YUM!!

    • 21 years ago

    thanks for the recipe jackie, really good baked beans, not too over sweet. we did add alittle garlic for alittle more zing.

    • 21 years ago

    I tripled this recipe for a large family gathering, and all I brought home was an empty dish. Everyone loved them. They had just the right amount of every flavor. To keep them from being so greasy from the bacon, I soaked up some of the grease with a paper towel as soon as they were done. Worked wonderfully. Thanks Jackie…delicious.

    • 21 years ago

    I made these today and they were really good. I didn’t use as much brown sugar as called for. I used Bush’s baked beans which already has brown sugar. I will make these again for sure.

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent! I wasn’t a big baked beans fan, but now I am.

    • 21 years ago

    I adore this recipe. On a cold winter night nothing beats a plate of bubbling hot baked beans and a side of corn bread. The leftovers are great for lunch the next day, too. I’ve never had a complaint about this dish.

    • 21 years ago

    Very tasty! Will be maing again and again!

    • 21 years ago

    Wonderful!! I’m not sure you HAVE to have the sweet “baked beans” in a can (just in case you only have the regular p&b’s on hand). After all, the description does say you can wake up “pork and beans”.
    Anyhow, this recipe is awesome. I LOVE the texture of the cooked bacon pieces. I couldn’t believe the compliments I got. After all, baked beans are just baked beans…until these!

    • 21 years ago

    Fabulous! My husband is from NH and they love their baked beans in New England. I have made them many times in my bean pot from scratch, but when he said he was in the mood for baked beans, I started searching for a quick replacement. Found this recipe and it was a hit! I made it in a large Pyrex pan and cut up a pound of good hotdogs and let it bake in the oven. I am trying this recipe out again tonight, but this time in the crockpot. I agree that if you use baked beans in the can to cut back on the brown sugar, but other than that, this is a great recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    I didn’t have time for this dish to cook for an hour, so I sauteed the bacon in a pan, then sauteed the onions in the grease. Crumbled the bacon into a pan, poured in the onions (grease and all), stirred in all the rest of the ingredients, and microwaved on high for 15 minutes. It was still SOOOOO good. Thanks!

    • 21 years ago

    Really, really good. BUT – add another can of beans. Two is just too scanty.

    • 21 years ago

    These beans were great. Easy to make and the whole family loved them.

    • 21 years ago

    Everyone loved and super easy to make – definately would make again.

    • 21 years ago

    I am not a big fan of baked beans, and these are wonderful! However, they are a bit sweet, so if you don’t like sweet baked beans I would reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.

    • 21 years ago

    Took this to a brunch and really liked it. I put in 1T of worcestershire instead (I think it brings out a smokey flavor) Was very easy and yummy, thanks, Jackie.
    ** Made this for a second time. This time I double it and added pork saugage like some of the other recipes. YUMMY! It was a huge hit at the bar b que!**

    • 21 years ago

    Thanks for this recipe. My Mother makes great baked beans and she said these were better than her’s.

    • 21 years ago

    I made these beans for 12 and let me tell you they were great. I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl first then added it to the beans. I did not add it all though cause it looked like they would have been to runny.They were great and we are having some leftovers for dinner tonight. They have definetly thickened over night and I can’t wait to eat them. Thanks for a great recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    These are great beans! Next time I will add a little less sugar though. I like sweet baked beans, but these were a little too sweet for me. Terrific flavor other than that. Will modify and make it again.

    • 21 years ago

    I doubled recipe, but only used 1/2 of the sugar. I used old style mustard instead of regular, 5 slices of bacon and baked them in the oven for about 3 hours. They thickened up very nicely. Great beans. Will make again & again

    • 21 years ago

    Love them. Make them all the time for church functions and picnics!

    • 21 years ago

    This is sooo good. I’ve made it a couple of times now, and I’m already getting requests for it when it’s time for the next get-togethers. You can prepare it the night before, then put it in the oven the next day. I baked it for an hour and then took it out and went straight to the picnic. YUM!

    • 21 years ago

    Super fast, easy and wonderful just as is! I’m going to make it for a party next week. Many thanks!

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent beans! Served them for Memorial Day and the whole pan was gobbled up! Lots of flavor!

    • 21 years ago

    What a great recipe! I tripled this recipe and served it at our Memorial Day barbeque — huge success. Not ONE bean was left! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    Everyone loved it! I followed the recipe exactly as written, only I cooked it longer. Great recipe!

    • 21 years ago

    After reading all of the reviews I thought I would give this a try even though the ingredients semed pretty ordinary. WOW – was I wrong !!!! This recipe was outstanding !!!! Next time I will add more bacon only because my husband loves it but otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing ( he doesn’t like sweet things so I also decreased the sugar to 1/4 of a cup but I myself would like it with more ) Thanks so much for a real winner – I won’t bother looking for “the” baked beab recipe because this is it !!!!!!

    • 21 years ago

    I made this for 150 people at a graduation party and it went over GREAT! Thanks so much!

    • 21 years ago

    Simple yet delicious!
