Can't you just shoot, speak intelligently, and get your point across that way? Apparently this guy had to let us hear the f word 14 times a minute. Absolutely ridiculous!

I watched this video last night. I decided to stop by Goodwill today to look for any kind of bakeware with a lid. Lo and behold, there was a bean pot just like yours. Less than ten bucks after the senior discount. I see beans in my future. Peace and love.

Sir, I am a French Canadian, I watched my mother make beans almost every Saturday morning, after beans were soaked overnight. Your recipe is truly a French version. There is a few small differences. My mom cubed the salt pork, and used only black strap molasses, no brown sugar! Thank you very much for your recipe. Mom cooked her beans in a cast iron pot with a wire handle! Thank you very much!!:

I am a 57 yo Montrealer and his is my grandmother's recipe! I no longer boil my beans, I simply bake mine in a crockpot. Incredibly good 🥰

Baked beans and cornbread is the perfect cold weather meal

More of these Blue!!! Add the finished product at the end though and let us see you enjoy it too!

Hot dogs,Beans, and Brown Bread on a Saturday. A New England Tradition for sure. Sounds like a great winter day to bake some beans and warm the house.

I love the indignation over the sliced salt pork. My late mom would be all over that. LOL Great recipe. Thanks

Every time I watch your videos in this crazy and frightening times we live in, I remember a quotation from a German comedian: "in the old times, everything was good. Now everything is better. It would be better if everything would be good again".

Hello everyone, I make what I refer to as maine baked beans and I use soldier beans that I get from Maine , I have almost the same recipe but instead of sugar, I use maple syrup , everything else is exactly the same as what we just saw our friends use , PS. I live in Florida now, but every winter here in Florida I make baked beans and I use the same bean pot that I have been using for almost 50 years. Thank you sir for the video and everyone out there should give this a try !

Thank you for another great video. My grand mother used to make baked beans but she would leave a wooden spoon in the pot, when she boiled her beans. She said it would help the farts leave ! She would the make corn bread and cut up extra onions for grandpa. Your video, gave me a walk down memory lane. The second day was always the best day. You have a very clean kitchen !

Sir, It has been awhile. I am glad to see that you and Bennie are doing well. I am hungry all of a sudden! Well wishes from Utah! Many Thanks

Nice ... I grew up in the NE and remember mom making beans on Saturdays!! We usually went hunting on Saturdays as well ... God bless! 🙏

I cannot convey to you how much I enjoyed this episode. I now live on the west coast of Canada but grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and visited Vermont, New Hampshire and New York State often. Baked beans were part of my childhood and I will be cooking up a pot them tomorrow thanks to you. Thank you for reminding me my friend.

Thank you sir for this recipe! I followed it to a "T" with the exception I used 1lb of bacon rather then salted pork. My son and girlfriend loved it! Your Saturday morn memories reminded me of the deep snowy days we would get in the Upper Peninsula of Mich....I would get home from shoveling like you but I would have hot, homemade pasties with gravy! A UP favorite. Thank you again for your videos, I enjoy them all!

Almost 60 degree here in southern Ohio. Almost 80 degree two days ago. I can also remember going out with my buddies shoveling driveways for a few bucks. Thanks for the video.

As a kid I went to the Saturday night bean supper at the church every week. My grandfather usually made the beans and there was major debate over the bean and coleslaw recipes.

I have enjoyed your videos for years and hope for years more to come. You and your family are a joy sir. God bless you.

I grew up in Maine, and this was our Saturday night, too. I'm here just for a little refresher on putting the beans together. A charge of cold beans on Sunday morning for breakfast is routine & delicious! Enjoyed this, thanks...

thank you ; Brings back a lot of good memories. The day after bean sandwiches for lunch.

It seems as though every society has their delicious pot of beans recipes. My wife, who is from Norway cooks my favorite beans and they will warm you up on a chilly day. They are called hvite bonner i tomatsaus. We typically eat them with my cold smoked pork bellies. Thank you for sharing your delicious preparation, captain.

All I need is some molasses and I'm ready to give this a try. It's being added to the shopping list.

Thank you! Watching your video was such a blessing.

This just became my monday project:) No shops sell molasses in Norway, so it will be a maple syrup only version. Dont be shy with more local comfort food videos 😋 Thanks

Thanks for sharing! No snow here in NJ but it is 30 degrees so the beans are still welcomed!

Enjoyed your video very much. You remind me of my grandfather - a downeaster. The beans were terrific and reminded me of my mother's.

I am just here to hear gundad490 say "Boston". Thanks for all the great content.

Where I am from (southern West Virginia) one of the main traditional meals is pinto beans with a side of cornbread and fried potatoes. The way the beans are cooked some call “soup beans” in other areas but everyone just calls them pinto beans here because that’s the type of bean used

Thank you, I am thrilled to find a traditional recipe for baked beans! Too many recipes I googled adding garlic, ginger or rosemary, but I just wanted the basic NE version like my Mom would make. My beans are soaking now and I'm baking a few loaves of Anadama bread (another NE favorite) tonight to have with our baked beans tomorrow night.

...really enjoy your cooking spots, my friend...

I made a pound of navy and pinto beans and a 1/2 pound of great northern beans in my bean pot with this recipe this past weekend. I Could not improve on the flavor If I tried. Fantastic recipe, exactly the flavor I imagined when I first watched the video. They were also a hit at work on Monday

I’m 75, live in Washington state, load my own (a bit new to it), shoot for fun and cook for flavor; your beans are fantastic. As a kid, my mom used to make Boston style baked beans-my dad loved them and I lived just to have her make another batch. It’s been many years without such wonderful beans; I watched your video last night, soaked my beans and started them early this morning-WOW! I just wanted to say enjoying the beans and watching your video has made my day and most probably my week. I am truly enjoying videos narrated by someone with reason, logic, religion ethics and fantastic contents; much appreciated-keep it up!!!!

My mother made a pot of large lima beans every Friday; New England style, but no pork. They were delicious!

I had been wanting to make ‘real’ baked beans for years. I never would’ve thought I’d find the recipe on my favorite fellow retired wto’s page! I even went so far as to buy a bean pot on eBay haha (they Are a bit pricey) but i found a blue crown 2qt in near new condition for $20 👍🏼 Once i procured a fine (uncut) chunk of salt pork and a fresh jar of Grandma’s molasses i set my beans to soak. The next day was busy so i didn’t get to combine the ingredients and set the pot to bake until quite late in the day. The short story is, as time passed and i topped the pot with leftover ‘bean boiling water’ just one time- i fell asleep in the chair 😮 only to wake 5hrs later to a bean pot that was in dire need of hydration 😅 with no alternatives i topped it off and returned it to the oven for what became about 9 hrs total cook time and they still came out quite well. A little more robust than i would’ve liked but quite edible and we enjoyed them. Thank you for another great piece of advice and the inspiration to be a fellow bean maker! Be well and God bless

I just used your recipe almost exactly and they came out great! I'm in upstate NY, Grandma browns brand baked beans were something I looked forward to in the summer time. Unfortunately they are out of business. Since I learned to make beans from your video I may never buy a store bought can of beans again. Thank you!

One of my favorite treat foods when I was a kid growing up in Chicago was B&M Baked Beans that came in a jar shaped like a bean pot. They were different from all other beans available at that time in the Midwest. Fast forward. I now live in Maine and make my own baked beans New England style, and I love them so much with fried fish and collard greens in the Southern tradition. Although I grew up in Chicago, my family background is from the South, hence the eating of fish and collard greens. Good food makes me happy, no matter where it comes from!
