Notes

Feel free to use your favorite kind of beans. These baked beans are really good with a variety of kinds and sizes. But if you don't care for large beans, you can use pinto or navy beans instead.
My Amish recipe uses 1 cup of brown sugar, but that's a bit too sweet for me. I like them with only 1/2 cup.
I cook the bacon and bake the beans in my cast-iron skillet.
Jalapeno peppers are an optional add-in. Dice the peppers and add them in with the onions, for added flavor and spice.
