I prefer canned baked beans to pork and beans, but if I don’t have any, I’ll add brown sugar, a little ketchup, onion, green pepper and bacon to pork and beans and make my own baked beans. (or on stovetop). We usually eat Nathan’s hot dogs.
I like adding a bit of molasses to Grandma Brown’s baked beans. Strips of bacon??? Why not!!
We call it hotdog casserole. Pork and beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, diced onion, crumbled bacon, beef hotdog nickels. I always serve it with fried potatoes and sharp cheddar cheese to nibble between bites.
