why the quotes around supper? that looks like supper to me. i mean, just look at the bacon! (seriously, i can’t step looking at it).

also, i don’t care what anyone says, i don’t trust bread in a can.

Bacon! Everything is better with bacon, EVERYTHING!!!!

We Philidelphians used to have baked beans and hot dogs with homefries every Friday nite. My mom called it the “poor man’s meal”. No hotdog rolls either; white bread rolled around the dog was the way to go. Single mom, three kids, inner city, you get the idea.

Cool trip to LL Bean. I was such the “preppy” in high school. We, a bunch of students from my prep school, took a trip up there back in ‘80. I used to love their oxford shirts. I’m an Armani, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, guy now, but I still have white bucks!

I’ll be giving these beans a try. They’ll be great along side some pulled pork.

My grandfather grew up in New England, and now I know why we always had baked beans with hot dogs. We used canned, just added a few things to it. I’m going to have to give homemade a try, yours look so much better!

I’ve never had homemade baked beans, but I love the canned ones and I bet homemade is even better. They look so perfect along with that hot dog. Yum!

Isn’t it funny how we occasionally forget about our roots in Maine, but then *whack* it hits you again? I always hated baked beans as a kid because Mom used KIDNEY beans instead of pea beans, that everyone else had…. but now that I’ve got tons of Maine maple syrup from Aunt Ellen, I think it’s time to haul that recipe back out.

Thanks for the great post.

YUM! the apple sounds good in it And the brown bread in a can has to be sliced as it comes out with a bit of yellow mustard on it! AGAIN YUM!
I’ll be making some of this tomorrow!

That brown bread in a can rocks! And don’t think of it as canned bread, it’s just baked in there. Well, steamed, i think? I have tried to recreate it at home and had dismal failures.

The beans look great! I adore Freeport, too. And Corgi puppies.

We never did bread in a can (shudders) but the rest of it sounds like every Saturday night of my childhood.

I actually got an old clay bean pot for a gift about a year ago and have yet to use it to make beans. I also found a local farmer’s market with a farm that sells grass fed meats (including bacon AND fatback.)

I think gourmet hot dogs and beans are on the menu soon.

I love homemade baked beans and the added maple sounds great. I bookmarked so I wouldn’t forget to make these beans!
