    I'm a big fan of Steven's. I have all of his books and have never been steered wrong. I have made these beans several times, and as several other reviewers have stated, the beans always come out of the over either hard or crunchy. I made the recipe various times trying to perfect it, in that it is definitely tasty, but the hardness of the beans ruins the dish.

    Not sure what I did wrong but the beans are hard and dry. I used red kidney beans...I will not make this again

    These are truly the best baked beans I've ever tasted. I've made them numerous times and have gotten rave reviews from my guests. An important thing I've learned about this recipe is that you must make the beans 1-2 days ahead of time in order for the flavors to meld. The first time I made them, I almost threw them away because the mustard flavor was so pungent. Luckily, I had made them ahead of time and the next day, they were heavenly! Try this recipe!

    I recently made the BBQ sauce recipe found in this baked bean recipe with great success! We used the sauce as an added sauce to each bowl of beans my husband and I had from my own huge batch of beans and ground turkey. I quadrupled the recipe for Steven's BBQ sauce, as my own recipe is loosely based around 2 lbs of dry pinto beans and 3 lbs of ground turkey. Obviously, a batch of beans this big would need more BBQ sauce! My husband & I are making this dish again tonight...and we're salivating just thinking of tasting Mr. Raichlen's BBQ sauce again! I have his book, "How to Grill" and every single recipe I have cooked from it over the years, has turned out perfectly! He's the BEST in BBQ & Grilling! Nancy in Portland, OR

    You will have to make this one! it's amazing. I make it when we go over to our friends for a bbq and the kids even liked it so much that when my daughters friend came over to stay the night with us, she requested that I make this for dinner. (no joke I am up at 4am in the morning making them for a bbq we are doing tomorrow, my husband smelled them and got up LOL! It honestly is a keeper and a must make recipe. I can't say enough about it!

    This has to be, by far, the best baked beans on the planet. I make these for every barbeque and this version replaced the recipe my mom make while growing up. Even she had to concede that they arethe best.

    I am usually not a fan of barbeque beans, preferring sweet maply baked beans instead but was oh so pleasantly surprised at this delicious and balanced recipe.

    I came back today with the intent to print another recipe sheet as my original sheet is crumpled and difficult to read.

    Thank you for this recipe.
