I loved everything about these beans except the sun-dried tomatoes, and I love those things. I didn't think they worked well with the recipe. I picked them out and so did DH. I really never pick things out. So next time I will omit those. I did cut the recipe in half and thought the sweetness was spot on. I used the beer even tho I don't drink it but we had some left over from a get together. I cooked this in the oven with a meatloaf and roasted potatoes for a very easy dinner. I enjoyed the bite to this dish. Thanks for posting. :) -
These were very nice! I'm not a beer drinker so used beef broth instead. I also used red bell pepper not green and pickled jalapeno instead of fresh. I added 15 minutes to the cook time (I like my baked beans pretty thick). I think I would cut back on the sugar just a hair next time but otherwise I loved these! Thanks for the recipe!

I have two wonderful kids,6 and 12, my youngest loves to help in the kitchen. His specialties are homemade noodles and macaroni salad. My daughter loves all things macaroni and cheese!
<br> In the summers, we spend a lot of time at the lake and on our four-wheelers. The littlest has started T-ball this year, and we are getting a big kick out of watching those little guys play. DD is into basketball and is my biggest helper.
<br>I am not a baker. However; I have found many delicious recipes on this site that are challenging my baking abilities. My kids are encouraging me to keep polishing up my baking skills!
<br>I love to collect cookbooks! Finding this site was a stroke of luck. Now, I can keep all my favorite recipes in one place, and put the less used books away to make room for new ones!
