Awesome Easy to use adjustable to taste. Grandkids love. Friends love the beans. I have collection of Ms Lee’s books love the quick & easy.

Why would you post something like this on your site. Open up cans and add ketchup and hot sauce. Disgusting. I should have known better since it was Sandra Lee. I come to this site for recipes to cook real food not to open boxes and cans.

I have used this recipe for several years now and my guests always leave with the recipe. I do DRAIN the bacon fat however. Depending on my guest list, sometimes I use only half the hot pepper sauce and half the brown sugar. I myself prefer all of the hot pepper sauce and all of the brown sugar. Awesome recipe. Thanks Sandra!!!

I’ve been making these beans since 2004. Everyone and anyone who has tryed these beans love them.

I’ve made exactly as the recipe. But depending on the people I am making these beans for; sometimes I make the sweeter with more honey, sometimes I use add a different hot sauce along with the regular one and make it spicy, and sometimes I do both.

No matter which way, everyone just loves them

My family loved the recipe. I did listen to some of the other reviews and added a few things. I added chopped onions to the bacon when cooking them and I drained the fat. I also added about 4 tablespoons of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce. It gave a great flavor.
