I just moved to Boston and have been wanting to come across a great baked beans recipe since I arrived here a few weeks ago (it is Beantown, after all!). Thankfully, I found out about Vanessa’s Glorified Baked Beans just in the knick of time! Not only did the CEO of Key Ingredient give them rave reviews because of how delicious they turned out, but I just so happen to have most of the ingredients in my kitchen to put ‘em together.

It’s uncomplicated but unarguably mouthwatering recipes like these that I love on busy days like today, when I don’t really feel like cutting up too many ingredients but really want something savory, filling, and even nutritious for dinner. Rich in protein and fiber, this is a nutritious and hearty meal that will easily become a family tradition in your home, as it has in Vanessa’s :).
