How to Make the Best Baked Beans
I love the simplicity of the ingredients-hamburger, bacon, garlic, onions, pork and beans, cannellini beans, kidney beans, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar. and salt and pepper. It’s just that easy and most likely you will have most of these items in your pantry.
What canned beans are the best for Baked Beans?
I always start with pork and beans as my base. From there, you can use any beans that you like. Today, I’m using cannellini beans and kidney beans, but I have also used white beans, lima beans and butter beans. I have never used black beans in this recipe.
Let’s get to the good part. How to Make the Best Baked Beans. I start by cutting my bacon into small pieces on my cutting board.
Cutting raw bacon can be tough, so use a good sharp knife. In a stock pot on medium high, I add a bit of salt, the hamburger, bacon, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.
After the meat is cooked through, I drain off any excess fat and put it back into the same pot. I add the cannellini beans and the kidney beans to a colander. I rinse them and drain them before I add them to the pot.
I then add the entire can of pork and beans, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. I let it simmer to let the flavors mingle or about 20 minutes.
Don’t these baked beans look delicious? I sure hope that you will try them, you are your family are sure to love them.

Baked beans are always so much a favorite side for summer here, too. Our southern version is quite different from this one…only pork and beans are used and always bacon and onion…we always add a bit of mustard and ketchup along with the brown sugar to ours and that’s it! I need to try your version with the vinegar and garlic!
