Darn Good Baked Beans! ...with Bacon and Brown Sugar

When three bloggy buddies rave about a baked bean recipe I just have to try it. Debbie calls these the Best Baked Beans Ever and I'm so glad she shared her recipe. While I tend to shy away from labels like the best or the greatest I will say these are some Darn Good Baked Beans! They're made from three different canned beans and the most time consuming part is frying up the bacon:@) They are sweet and bacon-y and the four of us may have pigged out just a tad... we ate all of them! They'll be on our menu again and I think you'll like 'em if you try 'em folks. This would be a great side dish for your Labor Day BBQ or upcoming tailgating.
