In reply to Jean. We used to brown ground beef and add it to baked beans. My aunt called them "cowboy beans." All us kids loved them. They had a hint a heat as well but not much.

In reply to Jackie Garvin. Has anyone ever canned these or would they turn to mush?

This is very much like my mother’s baked beans. She put onions and green peppers in almost everything – cole slaw, spaghetti, meatloaf, etc . I will have to try this with some changes based on the comments – sauting onions and green peppers in bacon grease. Taking out the onion seems like it would mess up the presentation (one comment) but I like that option. I will have to try this for Labor Day. Thanks

In reply to Linda Hooker. Linda, The mustard is there for acidity. You can replace it with some apple cider vinegar

I am allergic to mustard, can something else take it’s place ?

Yum!! This is close to an old recipe handed down in our family. A couple of differences are, we dice the green pepper, and the onion. Cook the bacon slightly, and use the drippings, to saute the pepper/onion, before mixing into the beans. We also add molasses. We like them so much, that on Christmas, we insist on baked beans and macaroni-potato salad, with our ham… LOL

Amen Jackie, bacon and baked beans = perfection. I’ve never tried canned ones either.

In reply to Judy Pritchett. Judy, I agree with you. I have an especially hard time finding ham hocks that are smoked and not flavored with artificial smoke flavoring . For hams, I only buy Cumberland Gap. I've never been disappointed in one. Costco has some good apple wood smoked bacon that we like. If you find a good brand, stick to it!

I have really been disappointed in the quality of the bacon, ham hock, and other smoked meats I have purchased lately. Seems as if they are cutting corners and the smokey flavor is just not there.

I make mine like that too. I have also made them like this. Brown hamburgher, and add onions , green peppers for a few min. Two or three cans beans, any kind as I doctor them up. Add Barbque sauce, brown sugar, molasses and meat mixture and put in crock pot or oven and bake. So good too.

In reply to Nancy. Nancy, Absolutely! Make it up, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator until ready. Remove cover before baking.
