It's almost a guarantee
you'll be asked for the recipe when you take these beans to your
next picnic or backyard get-together. My family says the dish
is so good it should be called candied beans. With a combination
of complementary flavors, they're just plain good, no matter
what you call 'em.
Potluck Baked
Beans
- 4 (28-ounce) cans baked
beans, excess liquid drained*
2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons dry mustard
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 slices of bacon, diced

(160*C).

sugar, dry mustard onion and bacon; mixing well. Spoon into into
a large, well-greased ovenproof Dutch oven or bean pot.

to 2 1/2 hours or until sauce has thickened and reduced.
Makes 32 (1/2 cup) servings.

beans for best results. The amount of beans is approximate, a
little more or less is okay.
A Reader Suggestion: Try
adding a tablespoon or two of Kahlua to the recipe.
