Happy Labor Day! Today I'm sharing my favorite baked bean recipe that I got from my friend, Debbie, at Mountain Breaths. I've been making these beans for several years now, and have never posted the recipe. Debbie didn't mind that I share this great recipe. To read Debbie's post, you can go to read about the Best. Beans. Ever. They are so tasty, and if you are ever in need of making baked beans, I encourage you to try this recipe. I'm using a vintage tablecloth that my mom gave me years, and years ago. It's a soft flannel, and perfect for picnics. The one plant this is looking so good is my purple oxalis (shamrock) plant. It is getting so big, and I love the little flowers that it always produces.
Best Baked Beans
These beans are so tasty and I'm sure will be loved at your next family function. I could eat them as a meal!
ingredients:
1/2 lb. bacon, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups kidney beans (drained) (I use a 15.5 oz. can)
2 cups butter beans or Great Northern (drained) (a 15.5 oz. can)
2 cups pork and beans (I use a 28 oz. can)
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
instructions:
Brown the bacon and onion in a skillet; drain. Set aside.
Combine all the beans in a bowl, stirring gently. Stir in a mixture of the catsup, brown sugar and garlic powder.
Add the browned bacon and onions to the bean mixture and mix gently.
Spoon into a two quart baking dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

Those beans look delicious, Kitty. Fabulous colours in the tablecloth and isn't the Purple Oxalis a gorgeous plant. Down here in Australia Oxalis is considered a weed. =(
ReplyDeleteKitty, My SIL has made a similar recipe from Southern Living for years, so tasty! We have them every July 4th without fail. Love your pretty picnic cloth and your oxalis looks so healthy! Happy Labor Day. ♥
ReplyDeleteI haven't had baked beans in years! Your lovely tablecloth is giving off strong fall vibes.

ReplyDeleteKitty, oh YUM! I'll have to try this recipe. Looks very doable and tempting! I've never seen a plant like that before. Such a deep purple. xo
ReplyDeleteYour baked bean recipe sounds very good. Perfect for a Labor Day picnic.
ReplyDeleteMy purple oxalis is in the ground and it is multiplying rapidly. I need to put it in pots because it is going crazy.
MMMM - these beans sound wonderful. I've tried so many bean recipes, but don't believe I've ever made one with kidney beans. Pinned and must try! LOVE that gorgeous tablecloth and your plant is just beautiful. Hope you enjoyed a nice Labor Day! Hugs to you Friend. XO
ReplyDeleteYour purple oxalis (shamrock) plant is doing great! When I was in Maine, they had one and the flowers were yellow. It was a nice contrast with the purple. Love that gorgeous tablecloth! The beans are always a big hit whenever I bring them anywhere. Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty setting!! I’ve had these beans...a niece brings them to every family gathering. They ARE delish! I think I’ve made them once. Need to put them on my rotation, since more family members are coming up from FL to visit. Thanks for sharing your pretty corner of the world. 💜
ReplyDeleteOoooh, these look and sound wonderful, my friend. What a perfect dish to enjoy on a cool autumn's night. Thank you for sharing your tasty recipes with us.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice Labor Day, sweet Kitty. Thinking of you and sending lots of love your way!
This has been my go-to recipe ever since Debbie shared it on Gardenbuddies years ago! I like to add some molasses, dried mustard and fresh thyme from the garden. Yummy!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty, When I got my first Rival crockpot many years ago, a similar recipe that included a pound of ground beef was in the accompanying cookbook. We love it and use it as a main dish. We call it "Bean pot" and cook it all day long in the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteMmm, those baked beans look so good, Kitty! I love home made beans and I always use my slow cooker to make them. Yours are much quicker. I love your pretty tablecloth. That would liven up any picnic table! The Oxalis is doing well and looks so pretty. Happy September, my friend!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I do love a good bunch of baked beans and these look fabulous! I really like adding the different beans together too. Love the table cloth too! Thanks for sharing your recipe...hope you had a lovely Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE baked beans, but haven’t made them in ages. This recipe definitely seems worth trying. I’m impressed with your purple Oxalis! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum!! This sounds like a wonderful dish! Thank you for sharing, sweet friend. :) God bless you!
ReplyDeleteA good end of the summer dish!
ReplyDeleteKitty, who knew a photo of baked beans could be so pretty?! I do love baked beans, though they use up my daily sugar allowance and mean no dessert for me at the picnic! What a perfect picnic cloth.
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
