Delicious way to make canned baked beans special. I made two adjustments--I had leftover cooked bacon from breakfast (I know--how is that possible? and I cooked for 2 hours at 325 F. That really reduced the liquid and beans were nice and thick.

I didn't have time to make my usual baked beans so I tried these and they rapidly disappeared from the table. I used a combination of beans but kept true to the rest of the recipes. This will be my to go to "easy beans" recipe.

I found this recipe but was missing many exact ingredients. I made substitutions & ended up with the best baked beans ever. I used: 1 lg onion diced, 2, 16 oz cans Goya pink beans, 1 1/2 T Dijon mustard, 1 1/2 T Honey mustard, 1/4 C Maple syrup, 1/4 C Dark Brn sugar, 4 T Ketchup, 1 T Lemon juice, 8 oz by weight diced Pancetta. In iron Dutch oven, cooked the pancetta to render out some of the fat. Added the onions and cooked until translucent. Drained both in a colander - added back to the dutch oven and added the rest of the ingredients - be sure the liquid deglazes the dutch oven. Cook on stove top until hot throughout and bubbling. Cover and put in a 350 over for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (the baking time in the recipe was not long enough for this pink bean version... at 400 this version takes about an hour The pink beans tend to hold their shape and firm texture better than pork and beans. Pancetta adds saltiness w/o overpowering the subtle flavor of the beans as bacon can

Loved this recipe!! It was very easy to make. I used Campbell's pork and beans. I also cooked the bacon in a pan for about 5 minutes then sautéed the onions in the bacon grease! I doubled the recipe and added a tablespoon of cumin plus salt and pepper for taste. My recommendation is if you double the recipe don't double the amount of bacon.

I usually like to make dishes from scratch. But I was in a hurry, so I tried this recipe knowing how good a cook Paula Deean is. As usual, I was very happy with this one and so was my HUSBAND. The aroma and the taste was absolutely excellent.

Im serving my beans with a Polish Kielbasa. Sliced at an angle, then browned in a pan till golden brown. Its a wonderful combo
Love the sweet beans. I would use a finely chopped medium size onion instead of large and added a 1/4 cup green bell pepper Also when I did mine today I cooked my beans from dry so it may have come out a bit different than if Id used store canned beans

OMG - A M A Z I N G. I don't really care for baked beans & I couldn't get enough. I read thru the reviews & took the "take aways".
1. Double the recipe. We had 6 people, w/ 8 other courses on the table & they were gone. I could have easily tripled for leftovers.
2. Used Applewood smoked bacon. Fried it up in the dutch oven til crisp, removed & then caramelized the onions in bacon grease as others suggested. KEY TO DO
3. Removed onions & discarded grease & deglazed w/ about 2 T of dry marsala
4. Added all ingredients PLUS Cumin as others suggested (DO IT, it makes the dish back into pot & baked for 1 hour.
The people who rated this "BLAH" or "Unsatisfactory" - I seriously don't think they know how to cook. Or maybe they used sub-par ingredients (hint, I used REAL maple syrup & Campbell"s Homestyle beans
Try this - you won't be disappointed!!

Paula, these are the best beans I have ever made. Everyone loved them, even the guests that don't like baked beans had seconds.

I tried this recipe once because I was in a very big hurry, but the results were unsatisfactory. I will never use it again because the end product still tasted like canned beans. Quick soaking dried beans is so easy, they taste so much better, and they don't contain any obnoxious chemicals or unwanted spices. Why would anyone use canned pork and beans unless it was an emergency?
