I thought I would take a short cut and buy Bush's Baked Beans. The can was Original with bacon and brown sugar. Those are some of the things I put in mine, so I thought I could pull that off.
To be honest, the beans were quite good. I was thinking to rate average, but they are above average for canned baked beans. I've had some that made me say, "Are you SURE these are baked beans?" Bush's are quality, but they just aren't mine.
See, I doctor up some baked beans. I add things like bacon (which you can actually find - unlike in Bush's), hamburger or sometimes weiners. I don't put all those meats...
