Best Baked Beans Ever – Great Potluck Recipe

April 13, 2012 · by · 4 Comments

Years ago, we attended a family BBQ for all our preschool kids.   Michelle was our host and she made the most delicious baked beans ever.   I only knew of the kind that came out of a can…sad but true!  Hers are simple and probably considered “doctored up” baked beans.  I don’t really care what you call them, all I know is they are delicious!

I modified the baked beans this last week while making them for Easter.   I am on an “eat healthier” kick so I lightened up the recipe and they were delicious.  The only thing we gave up was extra calories.

Here is the recipe.  I will share how I made it and the original recipe.

    This looks very yummy! Our youngest likes beans a lot more than our oldest. I think it would be great for a potluck and I would definitely add the brown sugar to give it a little bit of sweetness. I might make a smaller batch with some hot sauce to make it spicier too, as DH likes things spicy.
