The outstanding barbecue taste of these beans makes them a favorite for cookouts all summer and into the fall. It's a popular dish with everyone—even kids. Having meat in with the beans is so much better than plain pork and beans. —Donna Fancher, Lawrence, Indiana

I too omit the white sugar...and I add 8 ounces of velveeta! They are delish!

This recipe is almost identical to 'Old Settler's Beans'. Both are outstanding and so easy, great family food.

My favorite baked bean recipe. I omit the white sugar and use a little extra molasses. Always a hit and simple to prepare. I always make it in a crock pot just for convenience, if it is a little juicy I just remove the lid & turn it up to a gentle boil and this will thicken it up nicely.

I've seen several recipes with these same basic ingredients, but this is my favorite. The barbecue sauce adds special flavor.
