Three-Bean Baked Beans
I got this recipe from an aunt and made a couple of changes to suit our tastes. With ground beef and bacon mixed in, these satisfying beans are a big hit at backyard barbecues and church picnics. I'm always asked to bring my special beans. —Julie Currington, Gahanna, Ohio

I absolutely love this recipe. It always gets rave reviews and I get asked to make it for every potluck at work.
These are terrific. I have a recipe like this only they are called Calico Beans. These are so very good.
This dish was so good! I did make adjustments-I had no bacon, so I omitted the bacon and I'd used a can of chili with beans. I didn't have regular beef either which was why I'd used the canned chili! I also used Dijon mustard. I had the other ingredients on hand! This recipe is a real winner!

These beans are terrific! I made these for a church potluck and I took an empty dish home with me.
We always make my Mom's Baked Beans. I have never tried another recipe because hubby and I love them so much. When I saw this recipe, hubby reluctantly agreed to try it. We both loved it, fantastic flavor and texture!! Not better than Mom's just different, so we will now be making both. The only changes I made were adding a little Worchestershire sauce and topping with bacon.
This recipe is awesome!! This is a friend of our's favorite so we fix it many time they're over for a meal!!
My family and friends loved this recipe, I made it for a Memorial Day picnic. I made it as-is and wouldn't change a thing, maybe just double it because it was that good :) I will keep this around and it'll be a new go-to for picnics and Holidays.
Now that I have stopped crying... I believe this is a recipe I have been looking for for many, many years. Since before my dad passed. Is there any way for me to get ahold of Julie Currington, Gahanna, Ohio who submitted this recipe? I would like to get her aunt's version, the one before Julie adapted it for her family.Thanks to anyone for taking the time to help me out. :)
Very good, l did not add the ground, was having a bbq so not needed l felt. I used maple syrup in place of the sugar. I will make this again. Janet. VFE
