I am sure that Grandma Browns are the right ones. They are still made in Mexico, New York , which is just up the road a bit from Syracuse.
I put a search in at Google and found a few places that one can order these. Anywhere from one can to a whole case, and have them shipped anyplace.
I am going to order some myself this next week, and bring back memories of the fish fry places in and around Syracuse.
Good Luck , and enjpoy!!

I , too was from Syracuse at one point and my father in law went to th fish store and got fish, beans and cole slaw. Have not seen this type in any other place. But your closest ones would be a can of Grandma Browns if you can find them at the store.

Being raised in Vermont for years I always said that those beans at the fish store were not true baked beans, but have to admit they were good and went great with the fish dinner.

Good luck finding some Grandma Browns. If you do, they will be very close to what you want. I have found them once in awhile.

I made Bushie's beans this weekend. OMG-- best pot of beans I have ever made. Who knew something beans were good if you left them alone and don't keep adding things (except some garlic powder- I couldn't resist).

all fine and good, but those are not what i am searching for. these beans were the consistancy of potato slad, no sauce.

Yep. Bushie taught me how to cook "Bushie's Beans" and if any of you Roadfooders like beans.......follow his instructions and then dig in and enjoy. Best pot of beans on the planet. He's famous up here, as I cook them everywhere!

Ok, it took me forever to find the original thread. This was from back in the "early days". Wanderingjew had started a thread about regional foods (it still gets resurrected today because it was a d*mn good topic), and you'll see some comments from posters who are long gone on the early pages.

I was talking to another redneck about beans, and the foxy Alaskan lleechef chimed in. At that time, I didn't know she was a French-trained Chef or I probably wouldn't have presumed to tell her how to cook beans. As it turned out, we've become good friends solely based on my bean recipe. (Well, that, and the fact that I'm a total Texas stud.)

Anyway, Lisa is the one who dubbed my non-recipe "Bushie's Beans", and I'm very humbly honored. (I get a real kick out of telling people that "I taught" a world-class chef how to cook beans. )

I sometimes throw cheddar or american cheese into the mix, especially when doctoring up canned beans, add some browned ground beef and serve over bread or rolls and its a one pan meal. Cold baked bean sandwichs are a late night treat but buttered bread works for me. I'm not so sure about the "mayo?" and baked beans thing..

Several new twists here. I'll have to try them. But first, what kind of cheese do you use? And do you heat the beans to melt the cheese, then recool them?

I used to love Bush's beans.. then I discovered Van De Camp's baked.. although Heinz's vegetarian beans are excellent for my own doctoring up.. I like to mix in all sorts of things like cheese, garlic, mustard.. whatever.. and simmer those babies till they are fairly thick and mushy.

As for cold beans.. I don't like too many foods hot... either lukewarm or cold.. We always chilled our pork and beans before serving.. I love cold chili beans..especially in a bean and mayonnaise sandwich.. and my father would eat cold beans in a bowl mixed with mayo and red onion... so the weirdness runs in the family..

Last night the phone call came in from our best friends, "John wanted to make ribs this weekend and we were, um, thinking, um, that you guys could come over and join us." Oh sure! "Well, I was wondering, um, if maybe, if you're not too busy, could you make a pot of those beans??" Bushie is now famous in Alaska........I get invited to dinner for the pot of beans. I will take some pics on Sat. WITH THE BEANS AND THE SMILE and send to Bushie who can post them because not only is he the Champion Bean Cooker (sorry Lone Star), but he knows how to post pictures here!

This is a recipe from Gourmet published in 1946----take it from an old New Englander--it's good!!!

Gourmet'S Boston Baked Beans
Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients
2 c Dried navy beans, picked over and rinsed
3/4 lb Salt pork
1/2 c Molasses
1/2 ts Dry mustard (English style)
1/4 ts Paprika
1 ts Onion, grated

1. In a bowl, combine the beans with 4 cups cold water and let them soak overnight. Drain, reserving any remaining liquid. Transfer them to a small heavy kettle, and add fresh water to cover. Simmer, covered, for 60 minutes. Drain in a colander, reserving the cooking liquid and combining it with the soaking liquid.

2. To the kettle, add a quarter lb. piece of salt pork and the beans and bury the remaining piece of pork, well scored, in the center of the beans. In a small bowl, stir together the molasses, 1/2 cup of bean liquid, mustard, paprika, and onion. Pour the mixture over the beans and stir in.

3. Bake the beans, covered, in the middle of a preheated 300f oven for 5 hours, stirring in some of the bean liquid at hourly intervals as necessary to keep the beans just barely covered. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 1 more hour.

I use add larger onion chunks and use a clay bean pot that my mom used to use.

try this with them for a killer breakfast!

Quick, easy, and everyone scarfs 'em down at picnic or potluck -

Cheap, plain pork and beans (as much as you need)
Doctor up with ketchup, mustard, and minced onion, plus honey or brown sugar to taste.

Add equal portion of thinly sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage (I prefer kielbasa, of course, as it is Polish).

Bake at low heat (300ish) for at least an hour.

Yum.

Ok, Ok, here's my version of Bushie's Beans.

Bushie uses a ham bone but I don't always have one so sometimes I start with diced bacon that I render in a large pot. Soak the pinto beans (2Cups) overnight and rinse. After the bacon is crispy I add a chopped onion and brown lightly. Add the beans, a can of chopped tomatoes, a chopped jalapeno. Add enough water just to cover. NO SALT! WOAH! I learned that in France......salt inhibits the cooking of beans for some crazy reason, but it's true. Stir those beans/bacon/tomatoes around and just let them cook. Don't want them to be "smooshy" nor do you want them to be "crunchy". Add salt towards the end. It's the perfect, simple, delicious way to cook pinto beans.
Your turn, Bushie.

Best bean recipe I ever made... Blatantly stolen from the Good Eats website...

The Once and Future Beans
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Yield: 6 servings
User Rating: 5 Stars

1 pound dried Great Northern beans
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 jalapenos, chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
Vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Heat oven to 250 degrees F.

Soak beans in a plastic container overnight in just enough cold water to submerge them completely.

Place a cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat and stir in the bacon, onion, and jalapenos until enough fat has rendered from the bacon to soften the onions, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, dark brown sugar, and molasses.

Drain the beans and reserve the soaking liquid. Add the drained beans to the Dutch oven. Place the soaking liquid in a measuring cup and add enough vegetable broth to equal 4 cups of liquid. Add the liquid to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in cayenne, black pepper and salt. Give them a stir and cover with the lid. Place the Dutch oven in the oven for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beans are tender.

Now that's just PLAIN NOT FAIR! Mr. Bushie, you gave me the recipe for those fabulous beans (even though they're not "baked beans") but I think you have a moral obligation to share with the rest of the Roadfooders.

Seriously, folks, I've been cooking a LOOOOONG time but I NEVER ate a plate of beans as good as Bushie's!

Miss Alaska 2005 is just trying to get in my good graces. Since my "non-recipe" is for redneck beans and not baked beans, I'll defer posting it here.

HOWEVER, I would LOVE for Mz. Lisa to post HER recipe for baked beans (also her version of Bushie's Beans).
