Picnic Baked Beans using Bush’s Baked Beans

What is the one thing everyone loves at a picnic? Picnic Baked Beans! Not just any old can of beans either, the beans that you “Dr.” up a little to turn them into delicious baked beans with a thick and robust BBQ sauce.

These were special beans or “picnic beans” here in Pittsburgh, PA., and summer was just not summer without a bowl of these beans on the picnic table.

Baked beans were a staple of summer dinners, but when you needed something to take to a party or picnic, you would mix ketchup and mustard into the beans with pieces of bacon and onions on top!

This 4th of July, or any summer picnic you might attend, take a bowl of these delicious Picnic Baked Beans.

Ingredients Needed for Picnic Baked Beans:

  • Ground Beef
  • Bacon
  • Onion
  • Bush’s Baked Beans
  • Ketchup
  • Brown Sugar
  • Yellow Mustard
  • Worcestershire Sauce

We always use Bush’s Original Baked Beans in our Picnic Bean Recipe.  You just can’t beat these beans in their taste and texture.  You can also use a more generic bean if desired, the other “fixins” will make the beans taste like the more expensive beans.
