Maple Barbeque Baked Beans

Barbeque baked beans are always a welcome addition at any barbeque event. It's a shame that, in most cases, the host just opens a can of beans and heats them up and serves.

This recipe punches up the flavor and still makes it an easy dish easy to cook. Buy quality baked beans such as Bush's or Campbells.

Now if you really want to be ambitious you can cook your beans from scratch by getting the dry white beans. Be advised that cooking them yourself produces a superior bean but it takes a while to cook. So allow yourself the time to get it done.
