My husband signed me up to bring baked beans to the family reunion. Therefore, I made gluten free baked beans. I’m allergic to tomatoes and haven’t had Van de Camp beans in ages, as it has tomatoes. However, Bush’s baked beans are tomato-free. Yes! I haven’t made these in decades! My husband’s idea was for bacon to be added. And since I’m a worry-wort as far as never making enough, I went for it, as it added volume to the recipe. And I’m really happy that I did, as it was a perfect addition, as far as flavor goes. And you skip the bacon if you’re watching your weight or cholesterol levels. The onion, garlic and bell pepper provides enough flavor. I hope you appreciate this recipe. My husband was delighted!
