These are the best baked beans I've ever eaten! It is one of those meals that make you look forward to winter. I use crushed tomatoes to make them, but if you can't get crushed tomatoes in a can, use whole or diced tomatoes and mash them before adding them to the recipe. This recipe comes from Canadian Living magazine.

I found this recipe in Canadian Living magazine years ago and have making it regularly ever since. It is requested at every family event as well as barbecues we go to. I,don’t change a thing except the cooking times. I usually leave it in the crockpot overnight. Usually I use a mixture of dried white beans and pinto or kidney beans. Delicious ,Reply

Very unhappy with this recipe. I know good things take time and this did take time. I did not cut any corners with ingredients, prep, or cooking. To much tomato taste. I was very hesitant to put any tomatoes into it, because it did just what I thought it would do. The tomato flavor just took over this dish. Sorry, but this was not for my taste.1Reply

Yes, these are excellent! I was feeling very nostalgic for my grandmother's baked beans, so wanted a basic, from scratch recipe. This is no quick-fix, but once it's made, you have lots of delicious beans to enjoy. Thank you, Irmgard.1Reply
