Easy Baked Beans

The smell in the house why these were baking made my mouth water. This is a very good bean recipe for being so simple to make. They are a tad on the sweet side so be careful what you serve with them.

2.25.20 O-M-G please do NOT plan on baking these beans for anywhere close to 3 hours or you will have a dish full of totally dried beans and burnt bacon. I checked at 1 hour, not quite done, added another 20 minutes, and yep, that did it.. They will firm up a bit as they sit. The bacon was browned and had added its good flavor to the beans, and the consistency was spot on right for us, just about perfect for baked beans. Initially, I was a little confused by the listing for the canned beans. It says ”baked beans with pork”? I thought would that be a can of beans Bush’s® baked beans, but then, they’re good-to-go right out of the can, no seasoning required. At any rate, I used 2 cans of pork and beans, and I think that was the submitter’s intent. For personal taste, I did cut the molasses and brown sugar in half. Indeed, they are very simple to make, and they are very tasty, as well. Good baked beans, just watch your time.

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.

These are great! My husband asked " what did you do to the beans? There good... Thanks, I think? I'll be making these again.

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.
