A few weeks ago I flew to Florida with my Dad to visit my grandparents.  We had such a wonderful visit — staying up way too late visiting and eating way too much good food.  They were really excited to take us to one of their favorite local BBQ restaurants in hopes that it would be a little taste of home.

The restaurant was great — tender pulled pork, sky high whipped potatoes, and fluffy biscuits graced the table.  The one thing that was missing from our meal was a big bowl of southern-style baked beans.

I’ve been craving baked beans with bacon ever since we got home, so I decided to make a big batch for us to eat on all week.  This is my favorite recipe for baked beans — it’s one that my husband picked up from working at the fire station, and it tends to have more bacon than beans, which is how I like it.  🙂


I’ve never entered this easy baked beans recipe in any official contests, but it is definitely award winning at my dinner table.  These bacon baked beans are crowd pleasing, whether it be hungry firemen or picky kids.
