I've made this recipe numerous times -- it's certainly a winner! Like others have, I cut back on the brown sugar (I use one heaping tablespoon) and add a dash of prepared mustard and Worchester sauce. JUST RIGHT! I've discovered even those who claim to "hate baked beans" seem to like these. :) Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
i've made these twice in the past month and are just perfect w/ burgers and hot dogs on the grill. they are easy to make and everyone loves them-the last time i made them i topped them w/ french fried onions in the last 15 minutes of baking and they were delicious! -
I added green peppers and garlic and about one tbsp of Dijon mustard. I also cut back on the sugar. This got raves from everyone at a dinner party I attended. -
I will not always make baked beans this way. So easy and delicious. Tried it out with my sister and her husband when they came over for a dinner and they agree, have to have them at all our family BBQs. -
My family loved it! I had never made any sort of baked beans before - this was SO easy and quite delicious! Served it with grilled spare ribs, Caesar salad and watermelon on the 4th. When I make it again, I will only use half the brown sugar and it will still be plenty sweet. The fresh bacon really made it!

I Add 1/2 cup bourbon. The alcohol cooks out leaving the flavor. -
I cooked the bacon in a skillet instead of the microwave and I cooked the beans in the crockpot. I didn't get to taste any, but everyone seemed to like them. -
I have made baked beans like this for years. Sometimes I add a can of drained butter beans and some sliced hot dogs to it all. Also, when I am in a bit of a hurry or feeling kinda lazy, I use real bacon bits instead of cooking up some bacon. Try these, you'll love them!

I needed a side dish for my bbq and this was the one that caught my eye. I love Famous Dave's wilbur beans and decided on this recipe. I chopped up 4 cooked sausage patties instead of the bacon, and added about 1 TBS dijon mustard and 1 TBS worshesteshire sauce, and cut the brown sugar way back to 1 TBS. These got rave reviews! Thanks for sharing!
