Dad's Homemade Baked Beans

Submitted by CrimsonPhoenix

"This is my dads recipe for Boston Baked Beans. They are sweet and a little tangy what beans should taste like to me. The end result can be a little juicy, if you like your beans thicker, by all means just cook them to the consistency that you prefer. Also, the mustard and ketchup are not set in stone, they are simply one part mustard to three parts ketchup."
