Best Store Bought Baked Beans

[Murdy]

What's the best brand of baked beans? We make our own, but it's nice to have some on hand for an easy meal. We primarily buy Bush's, but I was wondering if there was a better option, maybe order a case online.

I like Wal-Mart's. They are very neutral but with enough flavor to start with and I can sauce them up to my liking. Adding maple syrup, molasses, and other goodies That way we get what we want. Then I throw them on the smoker till they are cooked. Yum.

Bush.

Costco has / had (never can tell) the smaller cans by the case.

I use these as a as a basis for my baked beans then add molasses, mustard, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, bacon, etc. A good bean to start.

Another vote for Bush's, we find the other brands turn to mush to easily.
I've vowed to make my own on day....but I break vows all the time....

[mrteddyprincess]

smokin fool get on that! Read @Mr Bones . His posts on beans are amazing. I have been in hot pursuit of perfect baked beans since May and have found that cooking the beans in a pressure cooker for an hour is a cool hack for starting with dried beans. Add scraps of pulled pork or rib meat and you've got yourself a main dish!

I know.
My aunt makes absolutely fantastic homemade beans, she's given me the recipe dozens of times....just never get down to it
....but one day!!!!

As a UK guy i only have one answer...Heinz. Very different from most american brands like Bush though.

[Murdy]

Also available on Amazon, I'll add some to my order

[grantgallagher]

Fantastic on toast covered in cheddar or HP sauce

[Elton's BBQ]

Heinz baked beans is good stuff indeed.

My wife and I are at odds on which Bush's to buy. She like without onions, and I like with, so guess which we eat most often...

[Mr. Bones]

Whether store brand, or bush's, I always buy multiple (select) flavours, mix em together, doctor em up some, to suit my desired flavour profile...

[Murdy]

I buy all varieties, but onion are my favorite

Bush's beans are great, so is the HEB store brand here in Texas.

I like my baked beans a bit mushier and a bit thicker.

Im not sure if this brand is available around the country or not.

I’ll doctor them up a bit by finely dicing up some onion and cooking it with some chopped up bacon until the onion is translucent. I’ll next throw about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a couple squirts of yellow mustard into the bacon/onion mixture. Once everything is all happy in the pan I’ll mix everything in with the beans.

If there are leftovers these beans make the best bean sandwiches.

[Murdy]

They are available on Amazon

Btw, could you elaborate on bean sandwich?

[Mr. Bones]

Rock On wit cha Bean Self!!!

[smokin fool]

10-4 on the yellow mustard, seems to be a little know addition that really wakes beans up

[Mr. Bones]

If yer in a time crunch, these here are purty passable, imo...

Showboat

[klflowers]

+1 on Showboat. My wife uses them as the base of her baked beans.

[Willy]

I'm with Histrix--B&M (no toilet jokes here!) are what I grew up with. Now, though, if'n we don't make our own (pintos or Boston baked), we usually use one of the Bush's varieties, which are fine.

[Woodson]

Ok, so what kind of beans are "small white beans?"

[Mr. Bones]

Navy Beans, Sir!
