Reply #5: Your gussied up version sounds pretty good.

I make baked beans from scratch (salt pork, molasses, onions, dry mustard and a few other seasonings.) I have a real bean pot and one batch in it is enough for about five meals. The beans keep well in the freezer too so there's no excuse for me to buy them in the can -- I just need to remember to make them.
