What is good brand of can beans
Luck's brand of canned beans has a lot of paste in them. (on top
especially) Besides this, I consider them a little to salty. Thanks Barry |

I like beans.. I figure they make me strong. I cooked a pot of Navy beans recently, blah.. tasted like boiled beans. Barry I've had Bush's, I guess I'm thinking more like.. tastes like beans you cook on the stove top. Thanks |

I grew up on Heinz Vegetarian Baked Beans, with added ketchup and molasses. Now I doctor mine with mustard, ginger, tomato paste and molasses. Tried making my own a couple of times. Burnt the first batch, and the second was too dry. Decided I liked the canned ones<G>. maxine in ri |

I second the vote for Bush's beans (regular baked beans,
or vegetarian), and if you can find it the Heinz "Baked Beanz" that are 50% less sugar and salt. Another choice is Ranch Style Beans. But often I just buy what's cheapest at Grocery Outlet. Steve |

But it really depends what kind of beans. AND they are all going to be salty. If you don't want salty, don't buy canned. You know how to cook beans. |

I add ketchup, yellow mustard, a little sweet pickle relish, some finely diced onion, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce, AFTER draining out most of the juice in the can. Then I let it heat at a low temperature either on top the stove or in the oven for an hour or more. For homemade from scratch, I use the Better Homes & Gardens recipe, which I can't access at the moment. N. |

This reminds me that I've not found Goya's Guava Paste in ages. That long wrapped package of sticky, sweet guava paste is a treat when served slivered on top of slices of good cheddar cheese. |

They're all too mushy although some are not quite as mushy as others. And the cans are usually all sauce which is not very good and needs doctoring up. Not that hard to make your own beans. Takes a lot of time, though, but not difficult at all. Here's my favorite recipe: BOSTON BAKED BEANS 1 lb. Great Northern beans 2 t. prepared mustard pepper to taste 1 T. salt onion powder to taste (or fresh, chopped onions to taste) 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. molasses 2 T. vinegar gr. cinnamon to taste (1/2-1 t., perhaps) gr. cloves to taste (1/4-1/2 t., perhaps) dash Worcestershire sauce thick-sliced bacon (get good stuff at the deli counter, not that pathetic pre-packaged stuff) Soak beans overnight in cold water (in refrigerator if house is warm). Change water and put in large pot and bring to boil. Simmer until skins wrinkle when you blow on them. Add remaining ingredients except bacon. Put in large casserole. Bake at 250F for 6-8 hours. Do not cover. If liquid gets too low add water. It’s good if they get a little dry on top and the sugar caramelizes. It gives it a good flavor. Stir this back in every so often. During the last half hour raise temperature to 350F and put bacon pieces on top. Cook until bacon is crisp and brown. Kate -- Kate Connally “If I were as old as I feel, I’d be dead already.” Goldfish: “The wholesome snack that smiles back, Until you bite their heads off.” What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about? |

At any rate, I am not a baked bean snob, because it seems to me the beans are just vehicles for a whole bunch of brown sugar, bacon, etc. Nutritionally, they might as well be dessert with a bit of fiber. |

Yes I think they are made with red beans not sure of the proper name for them. I do know that I have seen fresh small red beans from time to time for sale though not very often. I agree with that and I have been known to add bacon, onions, bell pepper and peach pie filling to baked beans. Then finish them off in the oven. I got a recipe from the Food Network about a year ago and gave it a try. I know my grandkids went though the whole 5qt pot full in one afternoon at a BBQ. You can look at the recipe at FN by searching for JACK'S Peach BBQ Beans. I use the B&M over the Bush which the recipe calls for. -- Joe Cilinceon |
