The Best Baked Beans Ever from the Pioneer Woman
When Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman Cooks says something is the best, I tend to believe her. Next time I want to make baked beans, I'll try this recipe for Quick Southern-Style Baked Beans from cookbook author Pam Anderson, which Ree declares "the best baked beans ever." In typical Pioneer Woman fashion, every step—from dicing the onions to layering bacon on top of the bean-filled casserole pan—is captured in a vibrant, mouthwatering photograph.

She bakes freaking bacon on top though! I love this idea.

I made these today... I tend to believe Ree as well, and she didn't lead us astray here! Amazing!

I was so disappointed to find out she used canned pork n' beans.

M'kay, no offense to Ree, but I just made another pot of baked beans tonight, and the ingredients consisted of (other than the dried navy beans): salt pork, molasses, dry mustard and rum. Pure baked bean goodness. Want them sweeter? Add more molasses or a touch of brown sugar. But all that onion/bell pepper/bacon/brown sugar/barbecue sauce(!) and *tinned pork 'n' beans*???? Oh please. Feh.

I love the idea of baking the bacon right on the top! Since I'm more of an Italian cook than a southern one, I usually just make my "baked beans" stove top, and substitute the BBQ sauce and sugar for canned tomatoes and thyme, and then pancetta for bacon. The fabulous thing about this recipe is that it calls for Dijon, which I think could be a great crossover ingredient for my version here: http://www.biggirlssmallkitchen.com/2009/02/working-with-what-you-have-one-stop.html
cheer!
