I have been making this for almost 40 years. The original recipe calls for all ketchup; it was my idea to make that half ketchup and half barbeque sauce. I do love spicy. I have never had a baked bean recipe that was this good and also this easy. Nobody will know you didn't spend all day on it.

  • Add some aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, onion, and celery will add depth of flavor to your baked beans. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • Cook the beans slowly: Baked beans are best when they are cooked slowly and gently. This will allow the flavors to develop and the beans to become tender. Simmer the beans for at least 2 hours, or until they are tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include cornbread, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw.
