Notes
- Bush's Baked Beans are sweet, this amount of brown sugar will make them very sweet like the original. If you want to reduce the sweetness, use 2 tablespoons of brown sugar instead. This is my preference.
- The bacon is what gives the beans such great flavor so don't skip the step of cooking the bacon before adding the remaining ingredients to the pan.
- Simmer the navy beans until they're tender, but don't overcook them or they will become mushy!
- Dried beans can be cooked ahead and used in place of canned beans in this recipe.
