Still one of the best & least expensive ways to put back a lot of food quickly.
I was amazed at the variations between different brands for flavor & texture. Some of the store brands (beets, carrots, tomatoes) are much better & cheaper than branded ones. I like canned beans over dried as they are easy, less prep. If I found a baked beans recipe that I liked am sure I'd change my opinion. Have yet to make anything with dried beans I wanted to eat again. Rice & pasta, about as easy as it gets. I keep them stored in tightly lidded containers otherwise bugs will love them. Same for flour. They keep a long time this way if kept away from high temps without oxygen absorbers or gamma buckets.
Look for the baked bean recipe from Durgin Park. It was one of the oldest restaurants in the US before it recently closed down. I cater and I sell them at every bbq I do, to rave reviews.
Thanks, will give that a shot. Have actually eaten at the Durgin Park at Faneuil Hall Boston years back. Don't recall having their beans though. I grew up on the west coast and there was a BBQ chain called Love's. Their baked beans were spectacular, have been looking for a replacement ever since.
