Baked beans made with canned beans. First you pour 'em out of the can into a casserole dish. Cover them with brown sugar and ketchup, maybe a drizzle of mustard. Then put several strips of bacon on top. The bacon doesn’t have to be a solid layer on top, but definitely five strips at least. Bake at 350 for at least 30-45 minutes. ---

One of my coworkers told me that McDonald’s dips their fries in sugar water or something like that to help them crisp up. She had gestational diabetes, and couldn’t understand why the fries kept sending her over the line. Her doc told her about the sugar treatment. ---
