I've had a recipe for a baked beans dish FOREVER!!!! Is easy and quick. It is called mandarin baked beans. Uses can beans and mandarin oranges with a few added ingredients---then is all cooked in the microwave--kind  of a 1990s era recipe. Made it again for yesterdays xmas eve dinner with my fam--- was very good!!!

    Served my Heavenly potatoes   with  Christmas Eve dinner .  Peel &  boil potatoes in water  but  remove  before they are  fully cooked ( al dente ) .  Slice in  slices lay in buttered  casserole pan  . Add  fully cooked  sauteed onions & one shallot . Layer potatoes, onion mixture  then  add  a few dollops of sour cream . Then sprinkle with a very little  amount of Parmesan cheese . Add salt & white pepper .  Make a  bechamel  sauce  adding  a generous amount of Gruyere cheese .  Pour bechamel sauce over each layer and  mix to coat all the potatoes . Bake in oven  till potatoes fully cooked.

@skatting44  Those do look as if they would taste "heavenly".

Old recipes are the best! My 7th grade recipe box, a project for Home Economics, started with my family recipes, which at that point were already old.🗂️⏲️👩‍🍳

Now my grandchildren are cooking with th recipes.

My son has to work today. So lunch will be not be a big deal and nothing planned. I have Sam's Club BBQ Baked Beans with Brisket. So I will have that and add mandarin oranges.

I like both and figure I will give it a try.

@wagirl.  How about sharing the recipe?  Sounds like my kind of cooking.

Are baked beans the normal part of a Christmas dinner this is the second time I have seen them on the holiday table

I don't associate baked beans with Christmas, maybe New Year's and July 4th. I have never had baked beans on Christmas. But then a lot of people have macaroni and cheese on Christmas and I don't do that either.

I'm sure everyone's dinner is different. We never had a dinner on Christmas. Too many places to go. It was just snack stuff. It was also my niece's birthday so too much happening and it had to turn into a birthday in the afternoon. Being Hispanic if anything all we wanted was tamales.

@skatting44 --sounds heavenly!!! I would add ham to it--ultra fancy scalloped spuds with ham---all day long!!!
