BBQ Baked Beans (Sugar-Free) image

From The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones, c. 2001. Commerically prepared baked beans can be a problem for people with allergies because they often contain sugar and corn syrup, plus ambiguous ingredients such as modified food starch and "natural flavoring." Slowly baking these beans contributes to their wonderful flavor and aroma.

These beans were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I had some leftover pulled pork that I added to these beans and it was amazing! Definitely recommend trying that if you have some on hand.

These beans were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

I've tried a lot of different recipes for baked beans, but this one is by far my favorite. The combination of the BBQ sauce and the brown sugar is perfect.
