These baked beans are amazing!! I made a few small changes to fit my family's tastes...... instead of 1\/2 cup of molasses, I used 1\/4 cup molasses and 1\/4 cup dark corn syrup (Karo); instead of using 6 ounces of French fried onions, divided ..... I used 4 ounces and mixed all into the beans; I used 8 slices of bacon, crumbled, reserving the equivalent of 2 slices for on top and I added 1 teaspoon of Liquid Smoke. I baked them in a 3 1\/2 quart Pyrex casserole ....... sprinkled with the reserved bacon and covered with foil for 45 minutes. I made these beans for a family picnic and every single person raved about them ...... had 2nds and I have none left!!
