Scott's Firehouse BEST Baked Beans



Scott's Firehouse recipes are easy, fool-proof and FAST! There is not time to diddle-daddle with meals. They can be tasty...but they need to be practical. There is always the possibility of a "call" that can take them away from the firehouse for minutes or for hours. I figure if it works for a REAL.LIFE. FIREHOUSE...it works in the REAL.LIFE.HOME...where we may be putting our own "fires" out!


Okay...with Memorial Day right around the corner, and Summer on her way, I think a most.delicious baked bean recipe is in order. A dump and run recipe at that!

I am all for making baked beans from scratch, but I am not going to preach what I don't practice.  And this week baked beans from scratch was NOT happening!  Thank heaven's I didn't run into any friends while I was grocery shopping this weekend because I would have had a lot of explaining to do!!!  Not only was the cart filled with baked bean makings but with store-bought ice cream toppings, LOTSA candy from the bulk section, KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese, Ramen noodles, cake mixes, soda pop, frozen prepared dinner {OH.YES!} canned whipped cream...Nitrous oxide and all!, and the list goes on...but the sweet hubby...I so do not deserve...reassured me that it is okay and that we are not going to die if things are not made with nutrition in mind for a week...he also made sure that I knew his baked beans were just as good as if they were made from scratch!!  I have learned to trust him in that department, so, if you are having a week of feeling overwhelmed and have no time or energy to cook from scratch, get your trusty crockpot out and let it do your work for YOU!
