Notes
Use any kind of baked beans. I use Bush's Baked Beans with brown sugar, but you can use any flavor of canned baked beans.
Depending upon your preference, these baked beans can be sweet or spicy.
For a sweeter flavor, use a sweet-based barbecue sauce ; for a spicy flavor, use a barbecue sauce that has a little spice or heat.
