If you really want to invest a little cooking time in your beans, give Alton Brown's beans a try. I made these a while ago and they were fantastic.

This is da bomb. I love that it has just enough pepper and spice to keep it interesting. Good stuff.

Sounds like this might really work. Most of the baked bean recipes that I have tried are disappointing but this looks great. Thanks
