BAKED BEANS MEDLEY



Baked Beans Medley image

My husband thinks that summer and this recipe go hand in hand. It is wonderful with grilled dinners. I pulled this out of a magazine a long time ago and have since lost the original copy. I have sometimes used Bush's Original Baked Beans in lieu of Campbells Pork and Beans (what I had on hand). When I substitute with Bush's baked beans I have reduced brown sugar a bit. When I have had large crowds I have added an additional can of baked beans/pork & beans and it was wonderful. :) I am posting recipe as written- for safe keeping :)

BAKED BEAN MEDLEY



Baked Bean Medley image

This is another recipe that I got from a mother from my son's preschool. I've tried this and it is really easy to make and honestly tastes like home-made "baked all day" stuff! I did tweak it just a bit for our taste -- like by adding molasses...But anyway, it's very filling and the kids love it when I make this with a side of cornbread. Very good!
