SWAPS
You could use turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork sausage. Some people make this with hamburger, but we all agree it’s much better with sausage!
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These maple baked beans are so easy to make; the most time-consuming part is making the sausage and cutting up the onion!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Brown sausage in skillet and drain grease.

Step 2
Combine sausage with all other ingredients in a casserole dish with a lid and bake at 300 degrees in a preheated oven for around 2 hours or until desired consistency.

Do the onions soften up or do they stay pretty raw with a crunch?
They soften up.
Do you use dry mustard or regular mustard?
Regular mustard but either would more than likely work.
CAN I SUBSITUTE HONEY FOR THE MAPLE SYRUP?
You can always give it a try, it would probably work just fine.
My Southern Grandmother made something similar when visiting us. At age 10 and tasting her dinner I couldn’t eat enough! She used hamburger, pork and beans, brown sugar, dry mustard, onions and some ketchup. Your recipe is tasty too!
Everybody loved it. ONLY differences I made was I doubled recipe using 1# mild and 1# hot breakfast sausage. I only used 3-28oz. cans of regular plain store brand pork and beans. I also just cooked on stovetop not casserole.
I cut this recipe in half and it was extremely dry? Any suggestions?
I can’t imagine why it would be dry, unless it was cooked to long.
well ladies did it again I LOVE YOUR RECIPES
FIRST
i love your recipes Use them alot copied 4 this morning will make 2 of them today you girls
first
Could these be made in crock pot? If so how long should they cook and on high or low?
I have never made them in the crockpot. I would assume it would be fine on high for 2 hours or low on 4. Good luck!
These are the best baked beans ever. The sausage adds so much flavor. I could eat these as a meal……needs nothing else! 🙂
Best baked bean recipe on the planet!
I.have just made these beans for the 3rd time in less than 2 weeks. My go to bean recipe from now on.
Wonderful! We love these too!
I love these and so does my family we don’t eat them any other way more
Aren’t they delicious? So glad your family enjoys them as much as we do. Have a wonderful week!
I added you Linda 🙂
I make something very similar to this and always cook them on low in the crock pot – for 5-6 hours. They are always delicious and everyone enjoys them!
Do you think a slow cooker would work – too hot here for oven! If so, would you change anything?
Yes, it would probably work, Phyllis. No, I would not change anything.
PS…. I love those McCormick Grill Mates! They sure are wonderful in all sorts of things… “They’re not just for grilling”! ; o )
Me too… I’ve sometimes made this with chopped beef, onions and peppers. I love this recipe & I’m gonna both “pin it’ & print it!!
Sounds wonderful. By two LARGE cans of beans…do you mean like 15 ozs. or industrial size? I’m making for a hometown festival soon so I tend to think the LARGE can…thanks –
Each can was 28 ounces. Thanks.
Been cooking this for years only using hamburger meat which works good to
