    This is the best homemade baked bean recipe I've tried yet. I'll be honest, I grew up eating Bush's vegetarian baked beans from a can and loved them, so that's my ingrained palate preference. As I get older those have become a bit too syrupy sweet for me but this recipe hits all the right notes without being cloying AND with the benefit of those long cooked onions in it! I'm still vegetarian so I used her suggestion of subbing 2 T butter for the salt pork to give the extra richness and mouthfeel. I debated on adding a bit of liquid smoke but decided to stick to a recipe (for once). Used Rancho Gordo Cranberry beans in this and used the slow cook function on my instant pot to follow her slow cooker variation. There was still a lot of liquid so I used the saute function to cook down to a reasonable amount. Will definitely make these again and maybe even try baking in my outdoor oven that has a woodsmoke function. The fam enjoyed these as well, they have not been fans of past attempts.

    I make these often. Far better than baked beans from a can. My entire family gobbles them down when I bring them on our annual camping trip.
