I came up with this recipe in a pinch after running out of baked beans at our oldest daughter's birthday party. I dressed up canned beans with maple syrup and a few other ingredients to produce this sweet, saucy version that tastes like homemade. They're so easy to fix that I rarely make baked beans from scratch anymore.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 cans (28 ounces each) baked beans
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 3/4 to 1 cup maple syrup

Instructions

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven, cook onion in oil until tender. Add the beans, mustard and garlic salt. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring occasionally. Add maple syrup; heat through, stirring occasionally.
