Yum I love sweet baked beans.Yup. I love beans of all kinds, but the older I get, the less they love me. It's absolutely worth the pain sometimes though. Especially good heirloom beans like Marafax or King of the Early or Jacobs Cattle. Made with a good big half pound hunk of salt pork and not a whole lot else. They're not supposed to be candy sweet and they're supposed to have juice, not stuck together with starch.Baked beans for breakfast. You all eat them a lot?I guess if I ever get back to the south, I'll have to try it there, because I'll tell ya, in Maine not many people know about it and it is DISGUSTING.Blasphemy!
Here gravy is brown. Biscuits have butter. If we want a gut buster breakfast, we order baked beans.
Sorry- can you tell I love baked beans? LOL
My baked beans could give you cavities. Molasses, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
Mine are brown sugar, ketchup, onions, mustard, more brown sugar, molasses if I have it, more brown sugar...pepper, salt, bacon if I have it, but fine without it. Bake it for a looong time.
It's like candy.
Practically the same recipe. But there's something about a little real maple syrup.
