I usually don't make them completely from scratch. i start with a couple cans of baked beans and then add in ketchup, brown sugar or molasses, chopped onions and some spices.
Does anyone have a recipe to share? Thanks! And have safe holiday weekend!

My favorite, tried and true.
Baked Beans
1/2 pound bacon
1 lb. gound beef
1/4 to 1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup catsup (but use bbq sauce instead, any kind)
2 Tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 can butter beans, drained
2 cans kidney beans, (drain one can)
28 oz. can pork and beans
In large skillet, dice and cook the bacon until crisp; set aside. Brown ground beef and onion. Drain it. Add remaining ingredients and bacon. Put in baking dish, Bake uncovered for 1 hr and 1/2 half @ 300 degrees
* Also, a small can of drained pineapple tidbits can be added.

@Knit-Chick Growing up I'm sure if anyone ever asked how to make baked beans, I would have said they shoulr start by opening a can! My mother made them the way you do, but if there were a few pieces of staling bread in the box, she's butter them lightly, teay them cubes and add a topping. I still remember I loved that crunch.
I still use the basic recipe and pretend to myself that not adding the buttery crust makes them healthy!

@Knit-Chick My mother-in-law used to make what she called "6 Bean Bake"...Same ingredients as you mentioned...but she added additional beans..black, light and dark kidney, sometimes Lima ...even a few green beans in addition to the the baked beans.
She would also include either fried ground beef or sausage. I don't care for sausage so I always requested the beef. Truthfully, I am not a fan of beans ...but this was delicious.
Even the grandkids like it. 🤗

Here is my go- to beans---got it from a former friend years ago. I use Grillin' Beans . Also add a jalapeno pepper sometimes too. I never get to bring any home --they get eaten up. And I cut down the brn sugar to 1/4 cup. I drain the beans a little too.

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 T butter
1-22 0z can baked beans
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T catsup

1 t yellow mustard
1- 11oz can mandarin oranges, drained
In a 2 qt bowl, combine onion, celery and butter. Microwave at high for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes, or until tender.

I usually make every thing from scratch. But this is a quick fix in a pinch.....
*Can of Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans
Measurements are to taste:
Tablespoon of mustard (I use dijon)
3 tablespoons of maple syrup (or molasses)
Quick and easy....the improvement is significant
*We are traveling and currently in Texas. It is difficult to find the Vegetarian Bush's beans in several states.

If you are in East Texas and see a Brookshires or a SuperOne (their sack your own groceries store) you will be able to find them. I love them.
