This is my absolute favorite baked beans recipe - I didn't like them until I tasted this. It is my aunt's - a family favorite! When I can't find limas in a can, I use a frozen package. We also make this vegetarian by omitting the bacon.

SWEET AND SOUR BAKED BEANS - WITH A KICK



Sweet and Sour Baked Beans - With a Kick image

When the weather turns cold, there is nothing nicer then a bowl of something hot to warm your soul. Packed with protein, loaded with flavour, and very economical. May be served as a side dish, or by itself with a hunk of fresh bread. Don't want to waste that sauce. Created for the 2010 Dining on a Dollar Contest. Update: Nov 10/10 - Based on the reviews made during the contest, I have reduced the amount of vinegar by half in the ingredient list. It certainly would be easier to add extra vinegar, then try to reduce it. If there's another 'Vinegar Freak' out there, the original amount was 3 tbsp. :) Thanks to the chefs that made and reviewed the recipe.

BAKED BEANS WITH A KICK



Baked Beans With a Kick image

Found online, these baked beans are really simple to make, and have a lovely balance of flavors. The bacon adds texture and a savoury sweet deliciousness. Since these beans are cooked uncovered, everything gets caramelized and the beans are not mush. Since every oven is different, check your beans at an hour and a half.
