Homemade Bacon Baked Beans

I usually only consider things "homemade" if they're made totally from scratch, everything raw and no cans.  My grandma makes everything from scratch, including her own pasta, so I often find myself feeling like a homemade cheater. But with these Homemade Bacon Baked Beans, that's the way it's going to be.  Making dry beans is a real pain, in my humble opinion.  There's the soaking and the cooking, neither of which I have the patience for, but then you also have to go in and make the actual recipe.

So I am, in fact, still considering the Homemade Bacon Baked Beans "homemade," even though the recipe calls for cans of Pork 'n Beans. And they are delicious.  Tangy but sweet, and slowly baked with lots of bacon. Make sure you give them a bit to set after baking so the sauce will thicken.  They'll be a huge hit at your next barbecue or cookout!

      Nope, not for this recipe. I usually only note in recipes if you DO need to drain and/or rinse. 🙂
