Ww Spicy Molasses Baked Beans - 2 Pts.

TeresaS's Note:

This is out of a really old Weight Watchers Magazine. Most baked beans use dried beans but this uses canned beans. It saves you hours of cooking time. This is so weird... it says it doesn't include the beans but if you look at the details it does...the recipe in the magazine shows 148 cal, Pro 7.2g, fat 0.6, Carbs 30g, Fib 3.5g

Nowadays I usually make baked beans this way, though with a few different ingredients! I particularly enjoyed the use of the jalapeno pepper (surprise, surprise!) & the liquid smoke ~ Made for a nice change for us! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

We thought this recipe was good. This was made to go as a side with hamburgers & corn on the cob. I followed the recipe exactly and the only thing I noticed was that the beans came out a little dry. Perhaps I baked them too long. Maybe next time I will make a little more sauce. Oh I also put in a bit of sliced canadian ham. This probably ruined the weight watchers part of it, but it did add some extra oomph to the beans. Thanks for posting the recipe. We really enjoyed it.

These were very good. I left the seeds in the jalapeno b/c we love spice. I thought it was a little onion heavy, but I am not a big onion fan. Next time, I will reduce onion and try dijon mustard instead of yellow. Thanks!
