I have made this so long that I don't remember where I got the recipe. I only know that my family, friends, and neighbors love them and always ask me to bring them to picnics when invited. I know that you will love them also.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serving a crowd at your summer barbecue? These out-of-this-world baked beans will ensure you have enough to feed everyone and probably some leftovers. The recipe makes a lot of baked beans, which is good because they're delicious. Using white beans makes them slightly different than other baked bean recipes. The sweet sauce has a touch of smokiness from the bacon. As they thicken, the beans thicken. This side dish will be popular.
