In the 1960's my Mom found a recipe on the back of an evaporated milk can for Creamy Baked Beans - or something like that. She always made it for picnics and parties. They are sooo yummy, creamy and mild. No other baked beans really do it for me.
Well, we moved a ton of times and the 1960's are long past, and the recipe only apparently exists, lodged in our food memories. No sign of it on the web, anywhere!
So, this evening we attempted to recreate the recipe. And it was good!
Creamy Baked Beans
1 14.5 oz. can of pork 'n beans
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. prepared mustard (any that you put on your hot dogs will do!)
1/4 cup cream or evaporated milk
Pour it in a casserole dish and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Stir well before serving. It has a lighter color than traditional baked beans, and a light creamy flavor. Of course you can double/triple the recipe if you want. Just bake it for an hour or so.
I sauteed 1/4 of an onion till it was soft and stirred it in before baking. You could also add cooked hamburger or whatever floats your boat and it would be yummy too!

Oooh, that sounds delish! I bought some "pork and beans" here at Costco (a whole case of like 8 cans or something) and we got so grossed out because there was no actual "pork" in them, just lumps of square fat. How did it get square, and where did it come from? These were questions that plagued us, and we stopped buying it. But I bet with some REAL baked beans this would be awesome!!!
