Ok ya'll! This one is good! Real good! Whenever we have a barbecue, I make this Southern Baked Beans Quintet and my guests go nuts over it. Forget the calories… This is not a dish for your waistline. But it is a side dish that your guests will pile on seconds and ask you for the recipe.
The crumbled bacon and five types of beans makes this the best tasting and best looking baked beans you will ever make. The bean combination gives this casserole a lovely texture and color mixture when serving. The added sweet maple syrup (the real stuff) compliments the beans and bacon. Let's just say: DROOL!! They maple syrup also thickens up the dish as it bakes.
This recipe requires a little more work than your typical baked beans recipe, but I promise it is worth it. Make it, bake it, serve it, eat it, and when you say, "WOW," I will say, "I told you so!" This is a requested side dish from both my friends and family. Now I am sharing this with you. Enjoy!
*Tip: If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute it for pancake syrup.
