Grandma's Baked Beans


You all are so lucky!  This is a secret family recipe that is AWESOME!!!  So awesome, I have to share it with you.  I never met my grandmother because she died when my mom was a teenager, but this is a favorite recipe my mom loved that her mom made when she was growing up.  My family eats these EVERY Thanksgiving & Christmas.  It is one of the sides I can't go without.  These are perfect for summer BBQ's as well & can actually be served WARM or COLD.  My family actually prefers them cold; my favorite is dipping my hot turkey/ham in some cold beans instead of gravy.  Call me crazy, but I dare you to try them both ways & see which way you prefer.

Grandma's Baked Beans


2 cups beans (we generally use pork & beans, whichever brand you prefer)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dark molasses


Throw everything in a pot on the stove & simmer 30 min to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.  The longer the better :)
