If you prefer a sweet taste then leave the brown sugar at 1 cup --- I suggest to use only Heinz chili sauce the flavor seems to work the best for this --- prep time does not include frying the bacon... these beans are *very* good!

I have been making this for almost 40 years. The original recipe calls for all ketchup; it was my idea to make that half ketchup and half barbeque sauce. I do love spicy. I have never had a baked bean recipe that was this good and also this easy. Nobody will know you didn't spend all day on it.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Beans:

  • Use dried beans. Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight. Soaking the beans overnight will help them cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Use a variety of beans. Using a variety of beans will give your baked beans a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful liquid. The liquid you use to cook the beans will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a flavorful broth or stock, or even just water with some added spices.
  • Add some sweetness. A little bit of sweetness will help to balance out the savory flavors of the beans. You can add sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, or even honey.
  • Add some smokiness. A little bit of smokiness will add a lot of depth of flavor to your baked beans. You can add smoked paprika, liquid smoke, or even a piece of smoked meat.
  • Cook the beans low and slow. Cooking the beans low and slow will help them to develop their full flavor.
  • Let the beans rest before serving. Letting the beans rest for a few minutes before serving will help them to firm up and absorb all of the flavors.
