I made these beans scaled to serve 100 for a wedding recption. I received more comments on them than I can count. They were quick & easy. The longest preparation item is cooking the bacon. The only downfall is, they really do need to bake 3 hours or they are a bit runny. Then again, that is a just a matter of preference.

This is an all time great! I made this for my daughter’s first birthday party cookout. Instead of a casserole dish, I used 2 9X13 inch baking pans and I kept the bacon whole and laid it across the top. Several people asked for the recipe and many accepted my offer to take the leftovers home with them. Thanks Brandi!

I needed a quick Baked Bean recipe for a lunch gathering at work. These are the best baked beans I have ever tasted … not dry, easy to make and not alot of looking around for non-existing or expensive ingredients. Great in the slow cooker too. I’m keeping this one for sure!! Thanks Brandi, for a GREAT recipe, I will make this one often.

Used these for my son’s wedding reception. Everyone loved them. So easy to do. Made them in a large electric roaster. We did 75 servings and had some left over. Used leftovers the next weekend for Girl Scout picnic and still got great comments. Will keep for other potluck dinners.

This really is an easy, great tasting recipe. I was pressed for time so I cooked it on top of the stove on low (until the onions were soft), while I prepared the rest of the meal. The sauce thickened up nicely. I didn’t use the molasses…and started with chili beans instead of pork and beans since that’s all I had on hand. It turned out to be very tasty, very easy, and very quick!!

This is a very nice recipe. I followed the ingredients to the letter; however I sped up the process. I browned the bacon and sauted the onions on the stove top – added the rest and heated through. Once heated through I transferred to a crockpot to finish cooking on low 2-3 hours.

I recently made this baked bean recipe for a 50th birthday party and changed the amount ingredients to serve 150 people. I received so many compliments from folks saying this was the best baked beans they ever had. I had never made this recipe before, but I will use this recipe from now on. Thank you very much.

Delicious! Used a bit more onions since I was only fixing for our family and we love onions. Used three strips of bacon that I just placed across the top (didn’t chop). Have also made and used three cans of beans and turned out well, just used generous amounts of ingredients listed.

My family loved this and most of them usually refuse to eat baked beans! This recipe is very easy to prepare, and great for kid-helpers. We cooked a pork loin the day before, so we threw in shredded pork pieces and extra onions. We love the simplicity and the versatility of this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

This is so similar to baked beans that my mother-in-law used to make. I think the ingredients are the same but the way she made them was different. She cooked the bacon first and added that crumbled up to the beans instead of on top. Then she’d cook the onions in the bacon fat until they were clear. Then add the cooked onions and everything else to the beans and cook for a much shorter time in the oven. An hour or maybe less. That’s how I’ve been making them and they’re fantastic! Excellent, easy, fast recipe for baked beans: the way they were meant to be. Thanks for this recipe!

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

The most delicious baked beans I had ever had! The bacon really makes this dish- don’t skip it. I tried making this recipe last minute for dinner last night, and the 3 hour cooking time really makes a difference, but it’s still delicious with just an hour of cooking time.

I thought it was delicious! Best recipe I have used for doctored up beans. I did double the recipe and added more bacon just because but the sugar and molasses were good amounts. I put it in the crock pot and let them thicken up all day so I didn’t have to heat up my house. These were much better than any Bush’s beans I have tried!

Not sure what happened here. I am a reasonably good cook and followed the recipe to a “T”. When I took the covered casserole out of the oven after 3 hours, all liquid was absorbed, and the beans were burnt. Lots of burnt black in my casserole. The problem is not my oven – I’ve never had a problem before and recipes typically turn out the way they were intended. Sorry! Won’t be making this one again.

I LOVED THESE BEANS, and after reading some of the reviews there were some hints that I really liked. I wanted to serve about 10- 15 ppl. I used two large cans of the Bush’s original and one of the bold and spicy. I cooked about 4- 5 pieces of bacon that I cut into small pieces before cooking. I then saut?’d the onions in the bacon grease until translucent to lightly browned. Mix together the beans, mustard, Ketchup, molasses, SKIP the brown sugar unless you like the beans even more on the sweet sweet side. MIX IN the bacon and onions. I used at least a half of large onion, 2tbs mustard and 1/4 cup ketchup. I then placed in oven cover and bake for three hours. LOVELY smell in the house, and the taste… MMMMM fabulous!!! Tastes like you cooked them completely from scratch!!

I made this and it wasn’t even eatable. It was right down awful. I will go back to just throwing my brown sugar, onions, pork and beans, bacon, BBQ sauce and catsup in a baking dish and mixing to taste. Wouldn’t have even given it one star but wouldn’t allow me to post without doing so.

Good recipe in a pinch. I would definitely make again. I saut?ed the onions first, added beans and heated for about 30 more minutes on the stovetop. I also added real bacon crumbles to give it more bacon and flavor. I loved the flavor and the family enjoyed it as well. Had to tweak ingredients a bit to suite our tastes, but really appreciate this recipe to work with!

Made this for a work pot luck and they were a huge hit. I used Cambell’s pork and beans as a base and altered the recipe slightly by frying the bacon first and crumbling into the bean mixture before “baking”. I sauteed the onions in the bacon grease and dumped the onions along with the bacon grease into the bean mixture. I cooked in a crock pot on low for 3 hours – perfect!!!

first time making homemade beans i used grandma brown beans, added some salt pork along with bacon. used a smaller pan (8 by 8). found to be a better size. this recipe only feeds 3-4 people. so now i want to make a much larger dish for a family picnic and would like to cook it in crock pot. i want to do 4x the batch in crock pot, so if someone has made this in a crock pot, i would like to know how much you made and how long it took you cooked in pot. also was a big hit.

My husband is a big fan of baked beans, so, I thought I would give this version a try. I think the addition of the molasses made the beans taste more like a slow cooked baked bean recipe made with dried beans. I do think that three hours would be too long to bake. I baked mine 1-1/2 hrs and they were perfect. If I had cooked any longer they would have been really dry. I did partially cook the bacon first and sprinkle on top mid way in so the beans did not get too greasy and the bacon stayed slightly crisp.

Made this for a party of 30. Followed the recipe measurements exactly using All Recipes conversion. Saut?ed bacon and onions prior to combining ingredients in crockpot. Cooked on high for about 3-4 hours. Everyone loved them. They are on the sweet side but that’s how I prefer them.

I make this all the time in the summer and get asked for the recipe wherever I go. I cook the bacon first, then cook the onions in bacon fat. I also usually add a little red wine vinegar or Worcestershire and sometimes liquid smoke. Some complain about the amount of molasses, but it truly just deepens the flavor. It does not overpower the beans.

This is the second time I’ve used this recipe but I made a few changes. I like to read the comments before I jump on in so this is what I came up with.
Instead of the pork and beans I’ve used navy beans to cut down on the sweetness. I cooked the bacon and then use the grease to saute onions and serrano pepper. I then added everything on the ingredient list together, including green onions and baked away. Now these are magical beans! -

I use a can of beans, not drained, and half all the other ingredients. Start by sweating the onion in the bottom of a sauce pan (I do use 1/4 cup) and then all all the other ingredients, set on low and let simmer until you are ready ton serve. Perfect! Just the right amount for two people. Any beans will do; I like the mixed-beans.

I was smoking ribs on my kamado joe so i just put all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and put them on the grill beside the ribs over indirect heat while the ribs smoked for 3 hours or so. Came out great and really absorbed the smoke from the kamado. Highly recommended.
