My dad does not possess a large repertoire of cooking skills, but there were a few things that he has mastered… and one of these is baked beans! My dad used to make these for camp outs, barbecues, picnics, and occasionally just because. And every time he did? No leftovers. He made them for us a few weeks ago when we came over to watch a BYU basketball game with him. He hadn’t made them for awhile, and I was reminded of just how good his recipe is. I snapped this picture before I dug in, because I knew this was a recipe that must be shared. So thanks for being our guest cook today, Dad. Your girls love you!

Sounds like a great recipe. Thank you for sharing it with us. The old tried and true recipes are the BEST.
Woo-hoo Dad makes a debut on Sisters Cafe!! I am glad you posted this recipe Mindy–it is a good one! mmmm
I LOVE this recipe!! It was always so fun when Dad would make these for camping trips and bbq's! Thanks for posting it – what a good idea!
I love this recipe! I can see why there are no leftovers! It looks delicious! I posted about baked beans yesterday ~ nothing like them! Thanks for sharing yours!
looks lovely
This is such a great recipe! I love it!
Pssst… tell dad to add a bit of molasses… really
But keep it under your hat, kind of a secret
Looks really good and easy to make. I am going to try these next time we grill burgers
Love recipes of family favorites such as this one. Thanks for sharing one of yours.
Love a good family recipe. These sound (and look) delicious.
I made these for a backyard campout we are having tonight and I thought, “I should post these!” I checked here to see if one of my sisters already had (because I couldn’t remember), and here it is! :) This is the BEST baked bean recipe ever!!
I have a dumb question. I really have NO idea how my big pot would do in the oven. It has the rubber covered handles and is a non stick pot. What do you think?
could I put it in a crock pot instead?
