    Easy to make and taste great. I follow the recipe exactly and the beans are perfect. Just enough heat to taste good without being too hot. A favorite at our parties.

    You'll never want a canned baked bean again! I'm another one who cooks them in my slow cooker. Best Beans Ever!

    These beans are absolutely the best ever. I normally am not a fan of baked beans but these are awesome! The only change I make is that I cook them in my slow cooker because I don't have a dutch oven or any pot that will go in the oven that large. I start them the night before we are going to eat and by the next day they are the bomb!

    As others have mentioned, I'm surprised at the 4 star rating. I followed the recipe as exactly as I could and three people ended up eating the whole batch in one sitting. These are not your canned baked beans. They are less sweet and much meatier. The fat renders off the bacon and leave tasty little pork nuggets behind. Normally I use a recipe as a reference and branch off trying to make it better. I honestly don't know what to change to make these any better. Maybe a tad bit more molasses or maybe some dry mustard...that would make them different, however I doubt they'd make it better. One thing is a must, though...red wine vinegar as a "dressing"!

    Not bad. Not great either. Ended up with a big pool of bacon grease floating on top. Other recipes call for 1/2 lb. of bacon or instruct you to drain the excess fat. Maybe AB's writer or intern overlooked this step.

    These things are amazing....I didn't have a dutch oven so I used the stoneware from my slowcooker, sealed it with foil and put it in the oven. Turned out great!

    This is the best baked bean recipe I have ever eaten! I have substituted a fresh ham steak diced in place of the bacon and it is also delicious that way. You won't be disappointed!

    These Baked Beans were THE best we have ever tasted Some of the other reviews stated that they were too sweet...I disagree totally, I think they have just the right amount of sweetness to them and just the right amount of bite. I am NOT a spicy food person and these were not overly spicy for me. Alton, you again amaze me with all that you do and teach us 'want to be cooks' out here :D Thanks for this delicious recipe! A+++ in my book! I was actually shocked when I come here and seen the overall rating was 4 stars instead of 5
