Reviews
I’ve made this bean casserole several times. I always make it for large gatherings. Totally enjoyed by all and will always want the recipe. This recipe is identical to the recipe my mother-in-law gave me from a very old cook book. This is just as good as it is healthy. My girls loved it from the day they were eating solid food.
The recipe is excellent as is and I have made it several times , but this last time I decided to use up some tomato paste and a 1/4 can of refried beans that I had open. I also added Grandmas molasses and a bit of ketchup with chicken stock. It was darker, richer and juicier than the original. I like it a little more moist .
Nice change from other bean casserole’s. Loved the sweet/sour taste
Have to make it again this year, 3rd year tradition for a golf tournament dinner! Popular demand!
Lost this recipe a few years ago and been looking for it since then. I’ve found others but this one is “IT”! Thank you so much for sharing
I made this for a BBQ and chicken stew we had and everyone loved it!! Will definitely make again.
Made this one for thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Thanks for the great recipe!
Mark loved it, I thought it was okay.
Loved the recipe, very easy to throw together. Only change I made was that I added some hamburger, turned out excellent. I’m saving this one for future use. Thank you for sharing.
I was skeptical about including baked beans, but the result was really good.
This is a wonderful recipe. I made it for our senior citizen Christmas lunch as a side dish for the ham, and it was perfect. The changes I made was to add one chopped red bell pepper to the onion and sauteed them together. I drained and rinsed all of the beans, except the baked beans, and then added 1/2 can water. That kept the casserole from looking cloudy. Also, I used black-eyed peas in place of garbanzo beans. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!!
This is a huge hit for our family gatherings !!!
I liked a lot, but noone else seemed to. I think Mom would like as well.
Excellent in every way!! I used uncured bacon and thawed a bag of frozen lima beans. I also did not bake it uncovered at the end- it seemed like it would be too dry. Can’t wait to reheat leftovers!!
Loved this casserole! It was my families favorite with hamburgers and hotdogs.
Very tasty, and a healthy dish. Substituted 1 lb. garlic herb & sun dried tomato chicken sausage for the bacon, and made this as the main course for dinner.
This is good, but you can omit the bacon! 🙂
Love this! I omit the bacon to make it vegetarian and just use a little veg oil to saute the onions. Also 28oz can of veg baked beans. Its perfect for crockpot too. Just make sauce as directed but put all in crockpot instead of oven. Thanks! I’ve been making this since I originally printed it out in 02/2007 and thought I’d finally review it while I was forwarding it to a friend. 🙂
I LOVED this recipe!!! First off, although I have learned to like beans, they aren’t my “go-to” option usually. But this recipe, with five kinds of beans, was AWESOME! The only thing added that wasn’t original was a link of Hillshire Farms smoked sausage. I decreased the onion and probably had extra bacon in it. I loved it the first day I made it and loved it more on day 2! My kids weren’t thrilled, but hubbie and I enjoyed it.
These were awesome! I brought them to a dinner and everyone raved about them. They were tangy and sweet and just delicious 🙂
I thought these beans were awesome! I made them for a camp out that I was supposed to bring a side dish to and these were perfect. My mom tasted them and wrote down the recipe right then in her recipe book. Which says a lot! I didn’t get any compliments however from anyone at the camp out (about 13 people) Not sure why – maybe people don’t get that excited about beans!
