My family and friends will ask me to bring my baked beans to our get-togethers. I also like to make them for our backyard cookouts and holidays.

The barbecue sauce, ketchup, and garlic powder give these baked beans great flavor. Or, it could be the bacon on top ... bacon makes everything better! A perfect addition to your next cookout.
