It was dark and stormy night day. It was cold when it should have been warm. The weather was rainy when we wanted it to be sunny. (And it was Saturday too.) Oh well, such is spring in the Midwest, I suppose.

My husband came upstairs on this cold, dark Saturday and asked what I wanted to do for lunch. Usually Saturday lunches consist of sandwiches and leftovers. Well, I guess we wanted to perk up the gloomy day and the idea of grilling came to mind. Grilling chicken, that is.

Yum. So much yum.

He said he would grill in the cold/rain (bless him!) and I said I would make baked beans and blueberry cheesecake bars. (If you need a great homemade hamburger bun recipe to go with your grilling goods, try this recipe for homemade hamburger buns.)

Now, I am an “open the can” girl when it comes to baked beans. I have never made a baked bean recipe before. I’m not sure I can get away with not making this recipe for baked beans now. It is simply the best baked beans.

How To Make The Best Baked Beans

It is extremely easy to make. In fact, I feel kind of bad I didn’t try something like this before. It only takes a few ingredients + the beans and hamburger.

I like how you can add different ingredients to your liking. I literally added ingredients as I went and it went well. If you like more mustard flavor, add more mustard. If you want a smokey flavor, add more cumin.

These absolutely best baked beans would be great at a picnic, Memorial Day, 4th of July or a potluck or gathering. I made them in the oven, but for my son’s 8th grade promotion, I am going to make them in the slow cooker. Simply add the ingredients and set it on low for 3 hours or so. I love using my small crock pot for recipes such as this, like this one.

The beans were baked in a 9 inch casserole dish.
