I just had to share this with you as it was so easy and so good! I cut the recipe in half but still used a 1/2 pound of bacon. I'm bad that way and I love bacon. Bacon is the reason I will never be able to be a vegetarian. There, I've said it. I used to just "doctor up" canned baked beans and had no real recipe but if you knew me you would say, "Sam, use a recipe", as they never turned out the same twice. So, I searched for the "best baked bean recipe" and I swear I found it! I got it from www.food.com and it had 5 stars from 68 people!

I know I would love these too. We eat a lot of meals that need beans and potato salad for sides. Tonight we had hamburgers and corn on the cob. Wish you could have popped over for dinner! Have a great weekend my friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI know, me too! Sounded like a great meal! Hugs to you too and enjoy your weekend!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I only share what I have tried myself and love.
DeletePork fat rules!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!
DeleteSounds delicious. I have been buying "pre-cooked" bacon at Aldi's and heating it in the microwave. Bacon was on sale at my grocery and I bought some. That pre-cooked stuff cannot compare. Bacon is the best!
ReplyDeleteI know and the pre-cooked costs more too! I open my windows and share the smell with my neighbors! LOL!
Deletelooking yummy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cucki!
DeleteI buy thick bacon. I soak my beans pinto and great northern overnight . Then I bring them to a boil and rinse them twice before cooking them for about an hour. Then cut the bacon into chunks and fry up with onion. Add it to the cooked rinsed beans. Then I mix up about a bottle+ of dark mollasses, about 1 cup brown sugar, ketsup and mustard salt and pepper and bake in a roaster for a couple of hours...then when cool I make up bags for the freezer and we take them out when we are hungry for beans! I never measure the ketsup or mustard...:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thank you! I had no idea you could make them ahead and then freeze but it makes sense.
DeleteI love bacon too, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it's almost un-american not to love it, lol!
DeleteI love bacon too, and indeed bacon sandwiches are the reason I couldn't be veggie (that and roast dinner!)
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about what we call BLT's here in the states? Bacon, lettuce and tomato on toast with mayonnaise. YUM! That's summer treat for sure.
DeleteMy husband loves beans too so I'll have to save this recipe.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
They would definitely go with your cookouts by the lake!
DeleteSounds delicious. We love bacon and beans so it'll be a winner here! X
ReplyDeleteMaggie! So good to see you and I finally realized that the reason I didn't think you were blogging is because you are at your French farm aren't you!?! I have to put that link on my list so I can tell when you have a new post.....duh...I can't believe I could be so dumb! I'll be over to catch up as I loved your posts from there! Anyone reading this should go there too! It's an amazing journey they're on fixing up an old farmhouse in France. TTYL!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your lovely comments! I've tried emailing you but it keep bouncing back! What shall I do?! Have you another email address?
DeleteI know, I'm having problems with it. I can't get into my Yahoo one so I went back to the slicher@centurytel.net. I'm going to call them as I can't seem to communicate with any one. You could message me over on Ravelry (just copy and paste what you wrote) I am Sandra Licher and my id is saminar. I'm so sorry because I love talking to you!
DeleteBacon makes (almost) everything better!
ReplyDeleteYou've got that right! Are you still blogging? I have to check and make sure I haven't missed your posts. I think I have you on my list but I can be a little scatterbrained...or a lot! It's been a busy Spring!
DeleteThis sounds delicious, I love the flavour of bacon! Just enjoying catching up over here, Sam. I loved reading your catch up comments lately too...thank you lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week.

I will try to be a better visitor and blogger! So glad you got to read them as I'm never sure if people get them as emails or not. I feel so close to some of you that I literally "miss" you when I don't visit! Isn't that wonderful though that we can feel so close to people we have never met? If bloggers ran the world there would never be war...wouldn't that be wonderful? Thank you for stopping by, Helen, as I know you are way busier than I am for sure! I'm just older and slower! LOL!
DeleteI love baked beans and calico beans too. They are good with any other food!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new recipe.
