Almost every BBQ we have together, our Mom makes her baked beans. They are absolutely amazing! If you need a summer side dish… this is one of my very favorites!!!

She got the recipe from our grandmother. We can’t even begin to describe the delicious smell that will be in your home while these baked beans are in the oven.

There are no words for the amazing smell of Mom’s Baked Beans while cooking. Too bad there is not a candle with this smell. 🙂

These baked beans can be put together in about 5 minutes. Then toss them in the oven to bake, and you have a wonderful side dish for dinner or a bbq.

Baked beans are usually served as a side dish, but you could serve these with some rolls or cornbread, and that would be over the top amazing! And it would fill you right up.

Top with bacon slices until the top is completely covered. It’s fine if they overlap because they will shrink when cooking.
