Baked beans are just the thing for a blustery day. My father pulled this recipe out of Bon Appétit magazine years ago and we've been enjoying its tangy, rich flavor ever since. A great side dish to pork or steak.

Oh, this is a wonderful recipe. Most of the recipes I see ask for 4 hours in the oven! The other day I found a crockpot recipe... sounds much better. But now yours truly goes to the oven, but 1 hour only. Thanks a lot!
