There’s nothing wrong with a can of baked beans. Except I find them to be rather boring. So, I took a recipe from Amy’s Cooking Adventures and bam! Great doctored baked beans from a can! This little bowl of happiness is much like the classic baked beans you might find at a picnic. And that’s ok. There’s nothing boring about it. It’s easy and great for a get-together.
I always put jalapeno in my doctored baked beans. That might not be the best idea for your household. Substitute green bell pepper or even poblano if you want great flavor without the heat.
Also try my super-easy franks and beans.
