- Great NCAA or NFL Football weekend munching food!
These baked beans get wild raves everytime I make them. For summer picnics and potlucks to snowy football get-togethers. If you like Baked Bean sandwiches, this makes awesome ones.
If the beans become too dry while baking, add a little bit of water or beer to the top of them. I have never had this happen. I use Bushes Orignial Beans and Masterpiece Mesquite Barbeque sauce.
