Baked Beans


One of my favorite dishes to cook in a Dutch oven is baked beans.  They’re easy to cook in a Dutch oven and make a great side dish for almost any type of outdoor cooking.  There are a large number different Dutch oven baked beans recipes. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can cook these baked bean recipes on the stove, or on a side burner on the grill.

Here are a couple recipes to get you started:
