I make this a lot in the summer. My family loves it. Only thing I add is one lb. of hamburger meat. It's almost a meal, but we use it as a side.
That could definitely make it a meal!
These baked beans are fantastic! I used light brown sugar reduced by a third and used a medium spice salsa and used a half tablespoon of bacon grease. Baked them and OMG are they fantastic best,they are so easy to make.
