What’s in your baked beans?
So I am getting our menu ready for our annual July 4th shin dig and I have had a hankering for baked beans so I thought I would make a batch and hopefully others will help me eat them-Evan won’t touch them. My Mom used to doctor up a can of pork and beans with brown sugar, onion, and mustard. I’m thinking I wanna cook mine in the crockpot to make them nice and thick and to keep prep to a minimum. After doing some research I have noticed there are so many variations and ingredients that can be added to baked beans….it’s overwhelming! Molasses, honey, beer, bourbon, mustard, chili sauce, ketchup…too many ingredients could definitely lead to over kill!
So I am looking for some good recipes or just some tips as to what I should put in my beans, I know I don’t measure much when I make things like this, so even approximations will be appreciated. I will post on Wednesday what I end up making!

BACON!
BIG Thick slices of bacon. Layer a pan with the bacon and pour the beans on. Brown sugar is always good, and who doesn’t like bourbon

I know this is a bot late, but I just stumbled upon your blog and started reading your old posts. Maybe this will be helpful in the future. I use pork -n-beans and add bacon, brown sugar, maple suryp, and liquid smoke.
