When people think of making homemade baked beans, the general consensus is that they take hours to make; when in actuality you can make tasty beans right at home in a little over an hour. I first made this recipe this past summer and brought it to a family gathering.

Everyone loved them! I never got around to posting the recipe, but with March Madness coming up, these Maple Brown Sugar Baked Beans would be the perfect addition to your viewing party.

How do you make Maple Brown Sugar Baked Beans?

For this recipe I started off by rendering some bacon in my Dutch oven on top of the stove; then added onions, peppers and garlic.

Next I added tomato paste, water, vinegar, brown sugar, maple syrup and canned Navy beans; which I prefer using over the dry version so I don't have to soak the beans overnight.

These beans were delicious. Seriously, I could have made a meal just on these beans alone. ~Enjoy!
