Elizabeth Fox and I cofounded StyleBlueprint over six years ago. Within the first year, she introduced me to this recipe for Minnesota Baked Beans and ever since, I’ve never enjoyed a 4th of July without them! They are that good.
For all of you who think you don’t like baked beans (I don’t know these people … do they exist?), well you have not tried these! Note that I tweaked the recipe a bit, as I’m prone to do. And, make sure to have enough for leftovers as on the morning of the 5th, make some fried eggs and eat them over these beans … OH! I can hardly stand it. The best ever!
If you’ve been reading for these past six years (and if you have, thank you!), you may remember this one. If not, this is THE recipe to make. We’ll have more recipes as the week goes on, but this one deserves the spotlight all by itself!
