Baked Beans Medley image

My husband thinks that summer and this recipe go hand in hand. It is wonderful with grilled dinners. I pulled this out of a magazine a long time ago and have since lost the original copy. I have sometimes used Bush's Original Baked Beans in lieu of Campbells Pork and Beans (what I had on hand). When I substitute with Bush's baked beans I have reduced brown sugar a bit. When I have had large crowds I have added an additional can of baked beans/pork & beans and it was wonderful. :) I am posting recipe as written- for safe keeping :)
