Fake-Baked Beans

I liked baked beans. Bush's are my favorite from a can. I love to try other people's baked beans at potlucks. My grandfather made a good pan of baked beans.

These are more tangy than I like.

I am a fan of the sweeter variety of baked beans.

These are worth trying if you like to try different varieties of baked beans.
