QUICK AND EASY BAKED BEAN SOUP
I needed an easy way to use up some cans of baked beans (which I don't like as a side dish) so I came up with this soup. Tasty and speedy! I used some left over grilled pork loin and it was delicious. I imagine you could use ham, chicken or bacon with similar results.

DRESSED UP, SLOW COOKED CANNED BAKED BEANS
My sister turned me on to this wonderful way to dress up canned baked or barbeque beans (and she nabbed it from our cousin). They are delightful, and such an easy way to make canned taste homemade. I love to serve these with barbequed meat, and either cold slaw or potatoe salad. This recipe can easily be adjusted to serve the number of people in your party. You can also add more or less brown sugar, depending on how much sweetness you prefer.
