Baked Beans

Here is the recipe!

Auntie Maida's Baked Beans

2 cans pork and beans
8 T. catsup
4 T. molasses
4 T. brown sugar
bacon pieces
4 T. bacon drippings
2/3 C. chopped onions
2/3 C. chopped celery

Fry up desired amount of bacon (several pieces)and save the drippings. (This gives the beans a really good flavor but is not absolutely necessary if you want to be more health-conscious.)Saute' onions and celery in bacon drippings. Mix with rest of ingredients in a baking dish. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes at 375 degrees or until hot and bubbly. So yummy! (This recipe has been doubled for a larger casserole but usually I use 4 cans pork and beans and increase amounts accordingly for large summer barbecues! Evan loves this "taste of summer" with potato salad.
