BEST Baked Beans Recipe

Does your family like to BBQ? My family LOVES to BBQ, which is a good thing for me because I LOVE BBQ foods. I didn’t always love it, but it’s my hubby’s favorite, and because of that we’ve had it more often, making me like it more. Now, when the Lunas BBQ, we go all out. Hamburgers, hot dogs, steak, chips, dips, salads, fruit, baked beans and more are always served. Two recipes we ALWAYS have are my mom’s Potato Salad recipe (it’s the bomb.com!) and my aunt Georgie’s Baked Beans recipe. Everyone always expects these two items to be there, and they’re always gone before you know it because they are so stinkin’ good.

Well, today I’ll be sharing that yummy and easy Baked Beans recipe from my aunt. I must admit that I’ve never been a huge fan of baked beans until I had this recipe. They are just so good and go perfect with an outdoor BBQ. And I know you may be thinking things are pretty cold where you are, but things are warming up in AZ, and we’re already planning some family BBQ’s {yay for warm weather!}

What kind of beans are baked beans?

The type of beans used will depend on what brand of canned Pork and Beans you buy! The beans in the pork and beans are typically some variety of Navy Beans. On the label, it might be under any of these names:

• haricot
• pearl haricot bean
• boston bean
• white bean
• pea bean

Here’s a fun fact for you: The name “Navy bean” is an American term coined because this type of bean has a staple for the sailors in the US Navy since the mid-1800s!

Oh, man I LOVE Baked Beans when we BBQ!! I don’t know why for sure this recipe is my favorite, but it definitely beats any restaurant Baked Beans I have tried. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think. 🙂
