This Baked Beans Recipe is simple to make and delicious. There is not a lot of prep time involved, but it does require a lot of cooking time. We decided to have a fish fry and made this recipe for a side dish. I doubled the recipe so we would have extra to put in the freezer for next time. They freeze very well. The ingredients in this recipe blend very well. Sweet, but not to sweet and mildly spiced. If you like baked beans give this recipe a try. It is well worth the time. Enjoy!
