In 1984 my family was very new to the Parkersburg, WV area. My oldest was almost 5 years old and the following summer she played T-Ball for a kids league at the DuPont Fields. They won their championship that year! After the last game, one family invited everyone to their house for a picnic. The hostess made these terrific baked beans and I just had to have the recipe.
From that point on, anytime we had an event, these beans were our go-to, and when they were served everyone ate them. No leftovers. The guys always liked to put them on a hot dog or even just on a bun! My daughter—who was so young then and has now been married for almost 21 years—always makes these beans for get-togethers and it is her signature dish.
