Very good baked beans. I left out the deviled ham and just added some chopped up cooked bacon to make them a bit healthier. I also substituted about 1/4 cup molasses for part of the karo syrup since I was running low. The flavor was very nice.

    Well, I can see why they're Dan's favorite! I love baked beans, and this is the easiest recipe I've ever seen for them. And they are definitly the best! They have a wonderful flavor, a mix of sweet and spicy. Bev, this will be the only way I make my baked beans from now on!! Thanks!!

    Made this for Zaar Cookathon week and our early July 4th celebration. For me, making baked beans usually involves just opening a can of pork and beans and heating them up. No more. These were so delicious. The perfect sweet/tangy sauce with the flavor of bacon putting it over the top. A lovely addition to our BBQ and it got raves from all my guests. Thanks bunches.
