Oh the mustard! I do put that in mine. Forgot about it. I would have to
check the recipe, but I think I use dry mustard. Thanks! And gee... I
didn't recall that they had Bush's baked beans back that long ago. I do
remember them being a new item at the store but can't remember exactly when
that was. Could be they were in other areas before they came here though.

At the time I started using Bush's and making this recipe, I was living in
the Cleveland area.

The timeline at the Bush's website sez:

<q http://www.bushbeans.com/aboutbushbrothers/timeline.php>

1969

United States astronauts set foot on the moon, and the Woodstock music
festival takes place in New York State. Another historic event takes place
when Bush's decides to share the delicious flavor of their secret family
recipe baked beans with the rest of the country by launching Bush's
Original Baked Beans.

Bush's is a good start.

It's yummy, especially if you have good baked beans.

I have eaten many servings of homemade baked beans, including up in New
England and I still think Bush's vegetarian or home style varieties
taste great. The trick to get them thick is to cook them very slowly
over a low heat in order to allow some of the moisture to evaporate. The
result is pretty thick and the flavor is as good as any bowl of home
made baked beans I have ever eaten.

Hmmm... I would have been in the 5th grade then. I don't think we had them
here then. I was thinking we got them here later. But I could be wrong.

Ah... That's what I did wrong then. I just put them in the microwave. And
here I thought I had a quick meal!

Another vote for doctored canned beans (Bush's). Now I have to try Wayne's
recipe for jazzing up Bush's.

<snippidy>

This has to be the absolute best scratch baked beans recipe I ever
tried:

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Best Baked Beans

vegetables

2 pounds navy beans
12 bacon slices (about 8 ounces); cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 - 6 cups water
1 1/3 cups chopped onion
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup pure maple syrup (the real stuff)
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 ham bone or 2 smoked ham hocks

The beans need to soak in water overnight, so start this recipe at
least a day ahead - two days ahead if the oven finish is a time
problem.

Place beans in large bowl. Add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Let
stand overnight. Drain beans; set aside.

Put beans in crockpot with ham bone or ham hocks and 5 - 6 cups water.
Let it cook all day on low.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove ham bone and discard. Cook bacon in
heavy large pot until slightly cooked. Add beans and all remaining
ingredients to pot. Bring to boil.

Transfer pot to oven. Bake uncovered until beans are tender and liquid
thickens, stirring occasionally, about 4 hours. (Can be made ahead.
Cover and chill. Bring beans to simmer before serving.)

Note: The beans will look very watery prior to putting them in the
oven. The liquid will largely boil off during baking.

Well, it doesn't say that every grocery in every city in every state
carried them.

The timeline I linked to also gives the release years for other versions
of their baked beans. The one I pasted that entry for was the first.
Look at the linked page.

Did it contain HFCS? We don't get a lot of stuff with it here, but I
always notice it when we do. It tastes _very_ sweet and there's no
other flavour to the sweetness.

I loooove Watties baked beans, but they don't love me -- probably the
thickener.

I've found Oak almost as good and without any unwanted side-effects.

I don't remember. I generally don't buy stuff with that in it but I might
have made an exception. I bought it a couple of weeks ago.

I agree that I like them thickened. I like Bush's country style. They are
a sweeter recipe. If I am doing brisket or ribs in the oven on slow cook, I
add a pot of Bush's to cook down. I like any baked beans as a thick almost
paste like texture. Even the country style needs some hot sauce or some
diced chili peppers. I like the combo of sweet and hot. When fixing for a
group, I do not add the hot, but put the hot sauce next to the beans when
serving.

Introduced into Bush's in 2001, much later than their first baked beans (
which came along in 1969). Since we were talking about dates earlier.

I also doctor up canned beans. Not Bush's though -- I grew up on B&M
and Van Camp's. I add mustard, brown sugar, bacon, and onion, then
bake on low for a couple of hours...

Those are what we always had.

I've been eating Bush's vegetarian beans for more years than I
can remember and my invariable modification is quite simple: 1/4
tsp dried English mustard and a dash of Worcestershire Sauce to
a standard can. I've tried variations on this but always return
and I like baked beans. Other makers' beans are not as
satisfactory, IMHO.

My mom always made baked beans out of left over white beans from the
day before. She added chopped onion, a bit of mustard and a fair
amount of sugar. And yes, her beans were sweet and there were NEVER
any left over. She also added tomato ketchup of bottled barbeque
sauce. All this was placed in a pan with a couple of slices of bacon
on top and slid into the oven to bake perhaps 30-45 minutes for the
onion and bacon to cook. The oven temperature was probably 350-375
degrees.

As I said, there was never any left over baked beans at our house and
we dearly loved them. I guess it's what you are brought up on as a
kid that you so fondly remember. Everybody still talks about momma's
baked beans and how good they were.

Big John's Beans & Fixin' are a decent substitute. Decent, but not as
good as her homemade version.
