Recipe Expert Tips

  • All canned beans are not equal. Some have way more liquid than beans. If you use a very runny can of pork and beans the baked beans will be very runny. Pour a small amount of the liquid out of the can before adding the bean to the baking pan. Save it in case you need it later.
  • Do not omit the onion.
  • You can adjust the brown sugar, slightly.
  • Use a spoon to scoop off the excess grease that might  come to the top of the baking pan, if needed. 
  • Place the 9 x 13 inch baking pan on a cookie sheet to prevent spills when moving the pan to and from the oven.
  • Which canned pork and beans?:I prefer VanCamps pork and beans. The beans taste good and are high quality.
  • Bacon: Bacon brands can vary in quality. Buy the best you can afford.
  • Brown sugar: I always use dark brown sugar because it is made with molasses and add just enough flavor.
  • Onions: Please do not be tempted to leave out the onions.
