great recipe, beans are even better the next day, cook beans on high for a few hours however to be sure they get cooked well, once beans start getting saucy and brown then cut to low for several more hours

Followed directions to the "T". "Half-baked beans" after 14 hours in the crock pot! (Just a note that my crock pot works fine). I now have them in the oven hoping they will soften up. I was to take them to work tomorrow for a pot-luck. What a disappointment!

Due to time constraints, instead of using dried beans I used four cans of pork and beans (drained), mixed all ingredients in a 13x9 dish, and baked at 350 for one hour. My family loved them. They tasted just as good the next day, even cold from the fridge! This is definitely my new go-to recipe for baked beans.
