MAPLE BACON BAKED BEANS

Maple Baked Beans

How many barbeques or cook-outs have you had this summer??

We have a pretty big holiday that usually involves some sort of cookout coming up next week, so the next few posts, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite recipes for such an occasion.

What is a barbecue without baked beans? I have a confession. I never really ate baked beans. I didn’t always love them. BUT, I saw this recipe and thought it sounded good and knew I needed to try. They were delicious and I have been converted. And, now I am sharing it with you. It seems like a lot of steps, but taking the extra time to cook your own beans (instead of using canned) REALLY makes a difference.

See below for step x step instructions (with pictures) and scroll to the bottom for the printable recipe!
