Taste Test and Conclusion
Since, as I mentioned, I love the original versions of Bush's Best Baked Beans, I'm not surprised that it's the Number 1 bean brand in the country, selling a third of all the canned beans. However, I was disappointed with Bush's Best Grillin' Beans- Steakhouse Recipe flavor.

I heated the beans and served them with steaks and fresh veggies. It was just my guy and me at the dinner table that night. The first thing we both noticed is how dark the beans and sauce are, as you can tell by the picture. We each took a bite, and, as I was thinking, "Boy, are these baked beans sweet!", he was saying, "Mmm, these are delicious! Which flavor is this?" If you notice, brown sugar is the third ingredient on the label of Bush's Best Grillin' Beans- Steakhouse Recipe flavor.

Guy loved their hearty, tangy taste.

My mother also added brown sugar to her homemade baked beans, and I do too. "Sweet" in baked beans is expected, it helps give them their delicious taste. But, I think Jay's recipe is too sweet, at least for me.

So, in conclusion, try Bush's Best Grillin' Beans- Steakhouse Recipe flavor. You and your family may love them! But if you too think they contain too much sugar, remember that I warned you!
