Good baked bean recipe. I used bacon instead of the salt pork. Thought it was going to be too soupy in the bottom of the pot but as it set while I was finishing up other things in the kitchen, what liquid was in the bottom soaked into the beans.

I would like to double this recipe again.

Only oddity I found with the recipe is it calls for 2 1/2 cups of dry beans. A standard pound pack of beans is 2 cups. I'm not about to open up another bag of beans for that extra half cup. It's just neater that way. But maybe that is why I had just a little juice left in the bottom of the pot.

Good flavor. Sweet and Smokey. Definitely use the extra liquid smoke. Beans are fully cooked after the 6 hour bake.

Hey, pso, I am going to make these in a couple of weeks for a party. It says to just peel the onion. Is that what you did? Peeled an onion and plopped it in there?

These were pretty good. My dad thought they were bit sweet and my sister didn't like the texture. She thought they needed more liquid. I made them as written and used the 2.5 cups of beans. I didn't have a small onion so I cut one in half and used a wooden skewer to keep it in one piece. I added a picture to the recipe.

Well, they sure look good:) I always seem to have too much liquid when I make beans..not baked beans, stove top beans..so we're pretty used to liquidy beans:)
So, would you suggest using more water when making this? I want to try my hand at a baked bean recipe this Fall/Winter (when it's not so darn hot)..just need to find the perfect recipe:)

You could try adding more liquid, Marie. I wish I had done that. Here are two other bean recipes I really liked:
Make It Yourself Baked Beans In The Slow Cooker
My Mothers Boston Baked Beans
I'm the designated bean maker for our family. My dad loves beans and he really loved Keni's recipe and you can use your slow cooker.

I can see from your picture FA how they would need to be saucier. I have wanted to try that baked beans recipe of Keni's for a while now....

Keni's beans are wonderful. My dad is a bean connoisseur. :) I highly recommend them.
