Best Baked Beans

I never make my beans the same twice!

Experiment!

I always use the first 3 ingredients listed, but I add any combination of the ingredients that follow.

Whatever I have in my cupboard I use. You definitely want to use some ham and/or bacon, if you are not cooking for any vegetarians, to flavor this wonderfully.

Bake slowly in the oven at 200° for at least 4 hours.

You may need to add more "liquid" ingredients to moisten if you like your beans wet.

These can be done in the slow cooker or crock-pot also, but the flavor is never quite as good that way.
