I loove baked beans. I never really had them growing up (except the kind that comes straight from a can) and had them for the first time a couple years ago at a friend’s house on the fourth of July. I found this recipe on allrecipes and I was hesitant to use it since it calls for cans of pork & beans; I was really looking for something that called for raw beans but it had a good rating so I went ahead and gave it a try. They were a surefire hit. I made them again this weekend for our BBQ and everyone immediately begin spitting out raves and asking what the secret ingredient was because they were so good!
