Freezable Sides: Baked Beans

img_6256

This is a recipe my mother has been making for as long as I can remember. And in my adult life I have made them many times. I am not exaggerating when I say that every time that I make them people go nuts over them. I am asked to bring them back time and again. It could be the high quantities of sugar, or maybe it is the bacon. Who knows. They are just plain good which is all that matters.

  1. For some reason, it always makes me laugh when I realize how many recipes our moms “share.” Maybe I thought my mom created them. Who knows whose recipes they were? Maybe Great-Grandma Hunt? Maybe even back farther than that.

    • Karen Fetters says:

      That recipe came out of a cookbook that your Grandma Reisert has. I get the same response whenever I make them.

  2. (Of course, I doubt canned pork and beans go back too much earlier. But you know what I mean.)

    Do you cook the bacon before you bake the dish? OR do you use “raw” bacon then cook the dish?
