Grammas recipe

This is a great recipe for large groups and very easy, and tasty. Sligjtly sweet, but you can add and subtract for your own taste!

huge hit at cook outs

We love a good grill-out, but not too fond of overly sweet - BBQ sauce laden mushy beans with no flavor. This recipe fit the bill. Use the beans you love - the mix of varieties is nice to look at too.

My mom has always made homemade baked beans for family functions...and we never brought any back home! Sooo good. Sweet sticky caramelized baked beans. Perfect side.

Came up with this recipe years ago for a 4th of July cookout. We lived in Germany and everyone in our building stairwell was going to be there - no TDYs or vacations. We had a blast: grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone brought a covered dish and desert. We had a HUGE water gun fight that started with the kids and ended with the adults sporting hoses with power nozzles. We were labelled the 'fun stairwell' and wound up coordinating some epic yard parties. Just found the slip of paper I wrote this recipe on and decided to make this as a side for our hot dog night. I added some smoked paprika to give it a smokey kick. Hubby 'Mmm' with each spoonful, so it's a keeper! The recipe can be halved, doubled or tripled - just be sure to have a large enough bean pot or casserole to hold the amount you're making.
