Best Baked Beans image

THESE savory beans were a specialty my dear grandma frequently prepared. When I even think of this dish, I can smell the enticing aroma that met us at the door when we went over to Grandma's for Sunday dinner. Every dish she made was a labor of love. -Marjorie Thompson, West Sacramento, California

These baked beans were delicious! I loved the smoky flavor from the bacon and the sweetness from the brown sugar. I'll definitely be making these again.

These baked beans were a bit too sweet for me, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

These baked beans were just okay. They were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

These baked beans were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of brown sugar next time.

These baked beans are so easy to make, and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in a pot and let them simmer. They're the perfect side dish for any summer cookout.

I've tried many baked bean recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The beans are always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is thick and delicious. I love serving these beans with cornbread or mashed potatoes.

These baked beans were a hit at our last potluck! Everyone raved about the rich, smoky flavor and the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
