My husband loves these beans. The only change I make is to fry up the bacon in a skillet a bit first and drain to cut back on the grease. Also I put some of the bacon in the beans and the rest on top.
thought it would be too sweet...

this was the easiest baked bean recipe i've ever made. i've used some of sandra lee's baked bean recipes, && a couple of homemade recipes...but, this was , by far, the easiest. i tasted it before baking && was scared it would be too sweet...but, after baking for almost an hour, the bacon fat released into the beans && cut some of that maple syrup in the recipe. i made it today, for the 4th of july, && it went over extremely well. everyone kept asking for the recipe. but, i'm from the south...if u're northern, i'm not sure it will go over as well. this is a recipe i would most definitely use again && keep on hand in my recipe box.
YUMMY!!!

I'm not a huge fan of baked beans, and I must admit I'm a bit afraid of Paula Deen's recipes because she uses so much fat in her recipes, but these turned out soooooo good! The flavors blended together really well. They were a huge hit at our party!

I made this for a family BBQ and it was a big hit. I also went the lazy route when following the recipe. I cooked the bacon and onion then threw everything together in a pot and put it on the stove top. I just let it simmer for a while to allow all the flavors to come together.

Read previous reviews. Didn't want them so sweet. Instead of using 2 16 oz cans of beans , used 2 28 oz cans of Bush Original Beans and eliminated the bacon. Kept all other ingredients the same, but added 4 tbsp Bourbon. Heated with cover off so they would not be soupy and they were delicious and were a big hit. And still, they were really sweet enough for our taste. Can't imagine them any sweeter. Will definitely make this one again.

I didn't have a dutch over so I just used a normal old casserole dish and put the bacon on top and these beans were still great! I broiled them the last few minutes to brown the bacon a little.

The flavor mixture of these baked beans was absolutely perfect! Just the right touch of sweetness with the perfect touch of maple, hickory smoke and onion made this go straight to my recipe box (and I'm choosy about what I put in my recipe box). Only thing I did different was fry my bacon first (until almost done) before putting in the bean mixture. And add a few crisp crumbled to pieces to the top after it came and bubbly and delish. BIG WINNER and CROWD PLEASER!

Liked them a lot, but next time I will not use so much bacon and maybe omit the maple syrup- a little too sweet. Might drain a tad of the bean liquid too.. Loved all the onions and the tanginess! Definitely one I will do again with a little adjustments just to my taste.

I used the larger size cans of Bush's original beans, drained off some of the liquid, and kind of eyeballed the other ingredient amounts. Cooked it in a cast iron skillet for an hour covered, then took off the cover for another 10 minutes or so to brown up the bacon. I got rave reviews!

Paula, I love you and everything you make! I made these for a birthday party and when finished it looked more like baked bean soup. I would strongly recommend that everyone DRAINS their can of beans. This was soupy mess, and no one wanted to put any in their plates because the beans would have ran into their other foods. Taste wasn't that great - way too sweet! I'm sorry, I've loved all your other recipes.

This was a great way to add to the average beans. This recipe was a huge hit at our last party. However, the only change I would make, instead of topping with raw bacon, I would either cook it off a bit to eliminate some of the extra fat or just omit the bacon all together. The bacon proved to be a bit to greasy for my taste - but like I said still a huge hit bacon and all.

I made these Baked beans for a super bowl party and everyone raved about them-no leftovers. I doubled the recipe and I used 12 ounces of bacon instead of a pound. Some that had rated this recipe said the beans were too liquidy so I took the lid of for about 30 minutes and mine were just right. Paula is a fantastic cook. And I just love her personality.

These beans were fast, easy and delicious. My family devoured them! They were a little liquidy, so I think I will try draining them next time and the onions were a little crunchy, so I cooked the beans a little longer and they were fine. I would probably chop them smaller next time. This is the first recipe I've tried from Paula and I'm definately pleased!

I nearly quadrupled this recipe in my grandmothers old cast iron dutch oven to compliment a tailgate party that bbq'd 10 boneless pork butts. We put the filled dutch oven on one of those grills that is pulled behind a truck. After the coals were ready and the pork was wrapped in foil and on the grill for about an hour, we put the beans on and let them do their thing with a few stirs now and again. The beans were done to perfection as was the pork. I will definitely make these again. This recipe got the thumbs-up approval from the UgMo's (the father's of our 12U girls fastpitch team). Thanks for a great recipe Paula!!!

My family enjoyed these so much I will never use the old recipe again. It is as if the brown sugar and maple knew how to mate in the beans to give it a flavor unlike karo syrup. I doubled the recipe to feed 25 guest and it still held its good flavor. It was a real hit with the kids.

So I was going to make baked beans... but I forgot to start 3 days ahead with the soaking and all the prep and cook time. So I took the advice of other reviewers and made this recipe. What a hit! I did drain the beans very well, and there was plenty of thick sauce from the added ingredients. To avert their being overly sweet, I used store brand baked beans in tomato sauce, rather than the maple or honey flavored, and this seemed to work, and I think this worked. I highly recommend taking this short-cut recipe for delicious long-cooked taste!

These beans were very easy to prepare and were just delicious. That being said a couple things I will note: first is to definately cook the bacon first and sweat the onions in the bacon grease. The only other thing I will change the next time I make these beans is to cut the brown sugar and maple syrup in half. The beans were just too sweet. But my gosh they were still good. Thanks Paula.

This recipe is absolutely delicious and easy to make. I drained some of the juice of the beans because I didn't want it too runny. I also trimmed some of the fat of the bacon more less out of personal preference due to high cholesterol in the family, it did not take away from the flavor of the dish. This will be a favorite recipe in my kitchen from now on.

These were fun and easy to make. They were very sweet. I sauteed a jalapeno, the onions, and the bacon in a little butter before adding them in. This made sure there weren't any undercooked onions, and the bacon was crispy. I also drained the juice off the beans, so they were really thick.
Recipe in The Lady & Sons cookbook is different from Food Network

I combined the two recipes and it turned out great! Best baked beans I've ever had. Do everything just like the recipe says, except; Fry the bacon and crumble it up, saute the chopped onions in the bacon drippngs and add 1/4 c light brown sugar. I put in a few drops of liquid smoke to get a little smoky flavor. VERY GOOD! Paula, you are awesome!!!

These baked beans are so so good. The only thing I did differently is to fry the bacon first and then saute the onion in the bacon drippings and drain the canned beans. Less fat, thicker beans and no undercooked onions. Everyone raves about these baked beans and there's always someone asking me to bring them to the next family gathering.

You know I just love it when my wife comes in from outside and tells me that it smells so good in the house when I'm cooking. Well I think the beans were very tasty, but I think I might of tried to keep them warm for to long because I think they were just a little bit on the dry side. My wife thinks they were great. I'm sure I'll try this recipe again.
Very Good

This tasted so good, great flavors. I took the advice of some and drained the liquid of the beans. It was still a little more runny than I would have liked and I ended up cooking it longer so the bacon would be more cooked.
Disappointing

The flavor of the beans and sauce was wonderful however it was overpowered by too many crunchy onions. If you try this recipe I strongly suggest that you half the amount of onions and dice them fairly small.

I prepared this WONDERFUL dish for our 4th of July cookout. They disappeared quickly! Everyone raved about 'em, even the kids loved the sweetness. Next time, I will drain most of the liquid from the beans first and perhaps try a thick sliced bacon which I will trim away some of the fat.

My wife almost ate the whole recipe singlehandedly. I was going to give the dog a taste and she flew off her rocker. I must say these are great. I did changes the recipe a little by adding a little "kick" and some mustard. Will use from now on as the baked bean recipe to be passed on for generations.

I modified the recipe to lower the fat content by frying the bacon first to remove some excess fat. The resulting beans were a hit with my co-workers at our pre-4th of July BBQ!

Paula offers a quick and easy recipe for beans with her Southern Baked Beans. I did change the recipe up a bit. I can't help tweaking recipes to add my personal touch and preferences. I also took the good advice of others who put a review online. Here's what I did to enhance the recipe: I drained the juice off of the cans of Pork n' Beans so the end result wouldn't be so runny. I only used 5 slices of Turkey Bacon instead of the 1/2 pound. Who needs the calories? And it tasted just as yummie with less fat and calories. I addes less sugar and less syrup just so it wouldn't be SO sweet. Hope this inspires you! Lesley
scrumptious!!

Everyone loved these beans. They are definitely on the sweeter side with the brown sugar and maple syrup. I might saute the onions for a couple of minutes before adding.
