Baked beans are commonly eaten with grilled foods and many summer meals. With or without ham, they are a good source of protein. Baked beans can be either from a can, in a variety of flavors, or made with your own flavor combinations. Pinto beans make an excellent baked bean. Common sweeteners include honey, brown sugar, and molasses. Use only one at a time, and start with 1/4 cup, increasing, if necessary. Some people like to make baked beans tart by adding ketchup or barbecue sauce. Again, start with a small amount and increase the next time, if needed.
