     It is finally grilling season again!  For whatever reason, when I think of grilled meat baked beans are one of the sides that come to mind.

   Are you making burgers?  You'll need some baked beans.

    Is pulled pork on your menu?  Baked beans!

    Grilling chicken?  Make baked beans!

     My grandma recently gave me my great-grandma's bean pot and I couldn't wait to use it.  I love using things that generations of my family have used, there is just so much history and love in the pot that it has to make the food that much better.

   The only problem was, if I was going to go through the effort of using the bean pot I wanted to go full bore.  I didn't want to start with beans in a can, I wanted to start with dried beans and do the whole thing.

    When I saw this recipe for Quebec Maple Baked Beans over at She Loves Biscotti, I knew I had found the recipe I wanted to try.

    It was different than any of the baked beans I had ever tried, and nothing like the ones you normally find in the cans.  Plus I had some homemade Canadian bacon in the freezer from one of K.C.'s smoking experiments, so that had to go in too.

     How much more fun could it get than that?!  Homemade beans in my great-grandma's pot with Canadian bacon my brother made.

    The beans turned out delicious.  They definitely take some time and a bit of work, but they were so full of flavor and the texture was perfect.

   You can make them in the slow cooker as well.  Head over to She Loves Biscotti for those directions.
