This was super good, super easy and freezes perfectly!! My whole family loved it! I did make a few changes due to what was in my kitchen...instead of ketsup I used 1/2 cup chili sauce and a 1/2 cup of bbq sauce. I also used campbells bean and bacon soup in place of the baked beans and bacon. I left out the cheese (only bc I forgot). And I also cooked the cornbread seperately and just placed the dish over the corn bread when i served it. Will definitely make again!!

Buddha went beans over this dish! I only made 1 pan, but exactly as written. This is a great recipe for home, and for a camping trip, it would be awesome too. Thanks for posting. :)

I thought this was pretty good. The directions for reheating were spot on. I did go a little shy on the bacon; I had precooked bacon from Schwan's and 1/2 lb just seemed like a little much. My picky son and his friend also liked it. Thanks for the recipe!
