I love baked beans, actually I love these baked beans. They are so easy and so, so, so good. I'm not really sure where this recipe came from I think my dad might have made it up. I remember eating these beans as a little girl, I loved them then and I love them now.
3 15 oz. Cans of Pork and Beans
2 Cans Refried Beans or 3 Cups Homemade Refried Beans
2/3Cup Dark Brown Sugar (add more or less depending on how sweet you like your beans)
1/2 Cup Chopped Chives
1-2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
Squirt of Ketchup
6-8 Strips of Bacon, chopped
Cook the bacon. Add the crispy bacon plus the drippings to the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cook (with occasional stirring) in a crock-pot on low for several hours or in a casserole dish in the oven at 300 degrees for about 3&1/2 hours. You're looking for the beans to get a dark rich color and to have somewhat of a thick consistency. Try them out and don't be afraid to adjust the flavor as you cook. It's that simple and they really are sooo delicious!
