I saw this recipe and quickly decided to put it together, despite not having a few ingred. The main ingred. I didn't have was the bourbon and I subbed some vanilla flavored coffee (and I think it was just fine!) and light brown sugar. The sweetness was "right on" so I don't think that hurt it any. I did use chopped ham instead of bacon. I slow cooked this on Convection 300 since I was going out. This really turned out delicious and I ate a big o' bowl for dinner. This really had a nice "homey" taste and a little different from regular baked beans. It really has a hearty flavor and texture. I noticed my daughter ate hers and she is not a "bean lover." It's definitely one that I'll make again. Thanks Miss Annie, for posting. Roxygirl
