Best baked beans recipe....easy to make...

I agree with other reviewers- leave out the white sugar. It is almost too sweet with just the brown sugar. I added a can of white beans too because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted more servings. They are very tasty. I received several compliments.

Delicious!  We halved it, & used Splenda brown sugar blend.

I purposely prepared these beans without the added brown and white sugar!  I used 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, 1/2 tsp. curry powder in place of the chili powder, 1 large Vidalia onion, finely chopped, 1/2 cup EACH BBQ sauce and ketchup, 2 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard, 1 can (16-oz.) Bush's baked beans (vegetarian) and 1 cup prepared Hormel's cooked, crumbled bacon and 1 orange pepper, finely chopped. I mixed the ingredients listed above together in a greased 2-1/2-qt. casserole dish and baked, covered, with foil and vents slit in the foil to allow the steam to escape, at 350o F. for 45 minutes, then I uncovered dish and baked 10 to 15 minutes until heated through.  I did omit the ground beef as I didn't have it on hand!  I'm rating this dish as a 4 at this time! I recall preparing a couple of baked bean dishes for Taste of Home and if I notice extra sugar, I've worked on scaling back on added sweetening! The review from maryceal was very helpful: mixing the ingredients without sugar or add enough sugar to suit your taste! delowenstein

Re all the ads.  Also response to Landbd.   Go to "bar". Search bar at top of your device.  The lines (bars) at the far end , left side,  click on those.  It will remove all the ads from print.  They will still show up.  Hit the print button on the left hand side under print options.  When you hit print and it displays, there will be no ads on the printed copy.   I understand your frustration.  That tidbit showed up on an instruction I happened to read.  I usually ignore that stuff but no more.      Good luck.

My family really enjoyed these beans.  Really sweet and tangy, but the chili powder gave them a bit of unexpected kick that makes them different from every day baked beans.  I will definitely make these again.

This was delicious.  I brought it to the family 4th of July get-together and there wasnt a morsel left.  Many compliments.  Thanks for sharing this

I made these for Memorial Day as soon as the latest issue arrived.  They are very good but could double as dessert.  I realize everyone's taste is different.  To me, a sweet lover, they were much too sweet and next time I will make them without any sugar or just a pinch.  I suggest you mix the ingredients without sugar and add a little at a time until it suits your taste.  My husband agrees--he'd like them for the Fourth of July without the sugar.

This is a family favorite. It is an often requested dish for potlucks. I only use the brown sugar, no white and the sweetness is perfect.

Made this recipe using half the called for sugars. Still way sweet but very tasty indeed. Next try will be with no sugar.

Love this recipe! It is so fast to put together but tastes like more! I used two cans Ranch beans and the sauce. I also followed other reviewers and use just the brown sugar. It was perfect! Simmered in crock pot, which is great on hot days!

Since I no longer have sweeth tooth, I only used 2 T brown sugar and no regular sugar.  Very good baked beans worthy of 4th of July!

I left out the white sugar and ground meat. Very good but too sweet for my taste. I added an extra can of beans. (plain pink beans) because there was a lot of liquid. Next time I will eliminate both the sugars.

With modifications this has the potential to be a great recipe. First off, I omitted the ground beef as I was looking to use this recipe as a side dish. By taking out the beef, the recipe needs more beans - it has sauce a plenty, so either add another can or two of beans and drain them, or add beans of another variety. I didn't love this dish at first and almost put it on my list of "not to try again", but then looked over to see my 5 year old DEVOURING them and he then begged for seconds - which NEVER happens with ANY dish, much less a side! So, I'll work to make this recipe work a little better in regards to the bean/sauce ratio and it'll be a definite keeper!

Good, solid baked beans.  All loved them!  Not just for the 4th.

I know I have a sweet tooth and I really liked these.

I made these for a cookout, They were a big hit. Made according to recipe except I had .95 pd ground beef so I cooked it all. I will make these again.

Very good.   BUT......l put in one third of the called for sugar and still a little to sweet. Mi would  make this again with less sugar.  I fryed the bacon with the ground.  I used moose.  Janet

Thanks to the other reviews, I didn't add any sugar. I did add the molasses and the resulting sweet-tangy flavor was perfect. I can't imagine adding a cup of sugar--it would be way too sweet.  If you like your beans a little sweeter, just add brown sugar to taste.

Received rave reviews for this dish. Making it for a second time today.

This was absolutely amazing. I used 30 oz. of pinto beans for the beans and didn't drain them. The dish was a big hit with the whole family!

I doubled the recipe and skipped the white sugar.  I put everything in the crock pot, then added the cooked and drained meat, stirred and let it go overnight. Yummy.I'm going to make again using leftover pork shoulder from BBQ.
