Made this for Zaar Cookathon week and our early July 4th celebration. For me, making baked beans usually involves just opening a can of pork and beans and heating them up. No more. These were so delicious. The perfect sweet/tangy sauce with the flavor of bacon putting it over the top. A lovely addition to our BBQ and it got raves from all my guests. Thanks bunches.

Anyone that doesn't like these beans doesn't know beans. Warning, they are sweet but the flavors blend smoothly. Packed with flavor they are juicy so you may need to drain dome juice off before you serve (BUT NOT ALL!). I can see why they are "Dan's Favorite Baked Beans"....this Dan sounds like he really knows beans. He must be smart, witty and good-looking too!

I used #10 (6 lbs 15 oz) can chili beans (rather than pork & beans) cause that's what I had on hand. I made 1-1/2 times sauce recipe for all other ingredients. These were delicious! I thought they would be too sweet, but they weren't for my taste; however, I may add a little vinegar next time to give them more zip. This made lots of beans and is perfect for potluck supper or cookout for a crowd. I will make these again, as they were very easy, too.
