Recipe Introduction


These are the best baked beans I've ever eaten! It is one of those meals that make you look forward to winter. I use crushed tomatoes to make them, but if you can't get crushed tomatoes in a can, use whole or diced tomatoes and mash them before adding them to the recipe. This recipe comes from Canadian Living magazine.




List of Ingredients




3 cups white pea beans
1/4 lb thick slab bacon
1 (28.00 ounces) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup molasses
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
