Summer's Best BBQ Beans image

Quick & Easy. Found this in Better Homes & Gardens (June 07). Great side dish for a picnic, BBQ or when you're in the mood for a tasty bean dish. For sweet and smoky flavor, pineapple and molasses are substituted for the familiar bacon and sugar. I have also made this without the pineapple and added a 14 oz can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes..we enjoyed it that way too; this recipe you can tinker with and still enjoy the results.
