This recipe got rave reviews from family at 4th July BBQ. Decided it goes just as well with baked ham for Easter. Used Bush's original baked beans for the pork and beans and KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. Made a double batch but didn't double the meat or molasses. Very yummy!

These were very good! I didn't put in the onions as i am not a fan of them and instead of baking in the oven I put them in the crockpot for 2-3 hours and they turned out wonderful.

I absolutely love these beans and everyone I have served them to has asked for the recipe! Definitely a keeper and full of fiber on top of that as well!

Very good...the ground beef really adds a nice touch. I've made it a couple of times now and used it as a main dish. Also, instead of baking mine, I have mixed it together as directed and cooked in my crock pot for 4-5 hours on High.

I have made this recipe for years. I own 2 restaurants and frequently use this for off site bbq events. The molasses make the recipe. I also add 2 tsp of dijon mustard. The combination of the two is great. For the person who thought that the ground beef may make the recipe too heavy, no way! Try it, you will not get ANY COMPLAINTS!

As a young wife, back the the 1970s, I found a very similar receipe in a Crock Pot Cookbook that came with the appliance. Unfortunately, the book got lost and I have been searching for this receipe every since. The only main difference I see is this has molasses and the other had vinegar. In either case, the finished product is absolutely delicious. Now that I have found this receipe, I plan to make it often. Also, you could add about a tablespoon of Liquid Smoke for a really delicious flavor.

It's my Godmother's recipe, and everyone asks at every family function if she's making it! Wonderful!!

I LOVE this...but I don't think it needs the ground if used as a side...it is great without and not to Heavy.
