These Sweet & Spicy Baked Beans are not your typical Baked Beans. Made with three kinds of beans and extra flavor from special seasoning and sauce, they will quickly become your go-to recipe!
With all the Potlucks, Picnics and Family Reunions during the Summer months, you’ll have plenty of reasons and opportunities to give these a try. A perennial staple at family reunions these baked beans pack a whallop. A tasty whallop that is, the brown sugar blends together with the barbecue sauce and just a hint of seasoning from the addition of the steak seasoning give this Baked Beans Recipe a complex yet familiar flavor.
The sweet thing about this recipe is that this is a terrific base recipe for baked beans. Getting a unique taste every time you make these is as easy as changing the types of beans you use or even swapping the other ingredients for a bolder, even spicier flavor.
We love these Baked Beans right along side of any Grilling Recipe and they are delicious on Grilled Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs.

I can’t wait to try your beans. What kind of steak seasoning are you referring to?
Hi JC, any steak seasoning will work, your favorite brand or make your own.
Thanks for stopping by!
Can you make this in advance and just reheat in oven that day? If so, would you make any alterations?
Hi Sam, yes you can certainly make the beans ahead. Just reheat at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until warmed.
