Recipe Review

This was such a good baked bean flavor - amazing! I selected this recipe because I had frozen cooked white beans in my freezer. I used a Vidalia onion instead of regular yellow, a bit of extra garlic, but otherwise followed the instructions.

This recipe reminded me of my mother's baked bean pot, and that I had not seen a baked bean pot in many years. I used a pyrex casserole pan with a lid. Mine was a bit runny after 45 minutes, so the last 15 minutes cooked with the lid off. Everyone enjoyed it a lot, and I'm sure I'll make it again.

Great photo! The beans look so good I'm going to try that recipe myself.

These are delicious, Leeka. My kids loved them too, and were disappointed when they were gone.

QS, I have a super picky 5 year old and I really need her to eat more (vegetable protein) beans. Thanks for the feedback about your kids, that's just the kind of information I need to bump up a recipe to the top of my list!

I wonder if I could make these in my crock pot for the 4th of July. It's going to be so hot I hate to turn on the oven.
Any thoughts?

Beth, I don't see why not. I don't have a crockpot but this seems like the perfect recipe to go in one. You might just have to do the first part on the stovetop (onion sauté etc.) and then throw it all in the slow-cooker for the baking part though. I would go for it!

I think I'm going to give it a try. I'm thinking I may need to take the cover off for a bit to let some moisture out but otherwise it seems like it would be a better way of making baked beans in the summer.

Crockpot seems like a good choice to me. I'll be interested to see if its kid appeal is widespread.

My kids won't eat them - they don't eat beans. I think they'll be great in the crockpot for the 4th of July party because they'll stay hot.

If you like them saucy, you could probably leave the lid on.

Well, I got up early before work today. I sauteed the onions and garlic and started the sauce on the stove. Then I added all that to the beans in the crockpot and set it on low. I'll let you know how it turns out later.

Also, I doubled the recipe because I'm taking it to a large party.

Edit: They came out great! Nice and saucy but not too liquedy. Delicious! This is a perfect crockpot recipe.
