I need a recipe for baked beans, the kind that aren't really baked
beans, but rather start with some cans of baked beans from the store.
I've looked at recipe sites and there are hundreds of recipes all sort
of similar. I've never made anything like this. I'm looking for
what you consider a good recipe that has some bacon in it. Share,
please?

When I make those, I add prepared yellow mustard, brown sugar, a dash or two
of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, bacon or ham cubes, and usually a cut up
onion. No real recipe, just to taste and the amount depends on the quantity
of the canned beans.

You can do likewise with your favorite hotdogs/tube steak, we prefer
it with kielbasa. I'd not recommend bacon, that potent flavor is
overpowering.
It's limitless what can be added to canned baked beans, really up to
your taste... I've occasionally added cubed Velveeta along with the
kielbasa cut into coins and made it into a casserole, bake until all
ooey gooey melty.

Try mine, Janet. I've been making the same recipe that I tweaked
significantly sice 1975. Most people like it.

Special Baked Beans
------------------------------------
2 cans (28-oz) Bush's baked beans, Traditiion Style
1/2 pound Bacon, diced
1 2-inch yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons Light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons Tomato catsup
1 teaspoon Coleman's dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon French's yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tobasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Bacon fat
Reserved bean liquid

Pour baked beans into colander and drain, reserving liquid. Turn
beans into large mixing bowl. Fry diced bacon until crisp. Add
bacon to beans, reserving fat. Fry diced onion in bacon fat until
transparent but not brown. Add onion and 2 tablespoons of the bacon
fat to the beans.

Mix remaining ingredients in small mixing bowl. Add mixture to beans
and combine all ingredients throughly, but gently. Add sufficient
reserved bean liquid to moisten bean mixture. It should not be
soupy.

Turn bean mixture into 2-quart casserole. Beans may be refrigerated
and held one or two days until baking.

Prheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake beans uncovered for 45 minutes or
until a crust forms on top. Serves six.

I like to add liquid smoke to my beans. I'll also add it to canned tuna salad. In the end, it pretty much tastes like adding barbecue sauce to the beans.

It is baked beans. Maybe not the traditional kind you are used to. IMHO they are WAY better that traditional baked beans. I like the different types of beans together, it is really good.

US Janet, to Bush's Original baked beans, I add: yellow mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown
sugar, diced onion and a little sweet pickle relish. I don't measure...just eyeball it. When left to
simmer or bake in a low-temp oven for at least a half hour but preferably longer, the result is SO good!
And even better warmed up as "leftovers."

I MAKE my own!! Starting with dried beans, I soak them first, then drain cook water, add fresh recipe-water, tomato paste, beef bouillon, black pepper, sweet paprika, cayenne, brown sugar, sorghum, bay leaves and bacon and ONIONS browned in the bacon fat!

YUM!! And FUCK THE CAN! It's called COOKING!

Right from the can is pretty lame and bland. I start with cans
and doctor them up...add in chopped onion, charred green peppers,
yellow mustard and powdered mustard, brown sugar. That's the
basics but you can also add bacon and even molasses.

If you like them dried out a bit and thicker, put in an uncovered
baking dish and bake for about an hour at 350f.

I've never made a sandwich out of baked beans but I see the
appeal. Once cooked, I do prefer eating them cold and thick
rather than warmed up.

Great with baked potato, mac salad and chunky applesauce. Add a
slice of buttered bread.

same here and at least some of the onions tossed in at the very
end so they provide some crunch.

Much quicker than dried beans, plus canned are perfectly cooked. I no
longer bother with dried beans, every kind of bean is available
canned, and when purchased in the larger cans actually costs less than
dried. Lately I've looked at dried beans and their prices are a
shocker, a pound of baby limas were $2.39. The only dried legumes I
buy are peas for pea soup... whole dried peas make a superior soup to
split peas when I can find them... yellow peas make a fine soup too,
add a few ham hocks, much better than bacon.
I doctor canned baked beans all the time, one of my favorites is to
fry a couple thick slabs of bologna and pour in a can of baked beans
to heat and reduce some liquid... hobo steak n' beans.
And I often use an assortment of canned beans to prepare a 3-4-5 bean
salad... a whole lot quicker than cooking several kinds of dried
beans.

Perfectly overcooked. That's fine in soup, but not desirable
in salad. Which is why I use frozen black-eyed peas for
Texas Caviar.

Me neither and I can't see the appeal.

My mother made lip-smacking baked beans and I've yet to produce
anything close although I watched her many times make them. She
always used leftover white beans (which for some reason weren't
cooked that often in our house). White sugar, chopped onion,
ketchup and/or a bit of barbecue sauce, and bacon on top of the
beans.

Maybe that's what I need as I don't keep ketchup in the house.
Anyway, everyone in the family still remembers her baked beans
and they were just a bit 'saucy' not runny but not dry either.

Haven't made it yet. I'll get a couple of large cans of Bush beans
(as plain as I can get them) also a can or so of plain cooked beans
and from there just add molasses, garlic, onion, bell pepper, bacon,
mustard and maybe some Sweet Baby Rays or something tomatoey. I'll
taste as I go. I'll put the pan of beans in the smoker along with
whatever I am smoking that day. Don't know yet. Company is coming.
Maybe serve with corn salad, rolls, iced tea/beer. I don't know. Cold
melon slices for dessert. One meal down and 5 more to go.
