This recipe looks to be quite a different take on the traditional pork-and-beans-based baked beans. Just look at the ingredients it uses: apples or applesauce, a pound of cheese baked into the beans, celery, and green onions. These are not your typical baked bean materials.
I made a batch of these beans the other day. It filled both my normal-sized (2 quart) and my super-sized bean pots. This is a lot of beans. You may want to cut the recipe in half (though that leaves you with awkward amounts, like 1/2 a can of tomato paste). As listed, it serves 12 to 15.
3 28 oz. cans pork and beans
3 large onions, chopped
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
3 bell peppers, chopped
2 hot peppers, chopped (optional)
6 ribs celery, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar, maple syrup, or molasses
1 can applesauce or 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 can tomato paste
3/4 cup tomato juice
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, cubed or grated
enough bacon strips to cover the top of the beans when cooked
salt and pepper to taste (It does need salt.)
Place all the ingredients in a bean pot or casserole dish (or pots or dishes; see note above--this is a lot of beans). Mix well. Top with bacon strips.
Cook for 4 hours at 300 degrees F.
Serves 12 to 15 hungry souls.
Of course, this is not my favorite baked bean recipe, although it is a good one. Click over to The Best Baked Beans in the World to a story about the absolutely finest baked beans known to man--and, of course, the recipe.

Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker We usually feature bean cookbooks here, but this superb slow cooker (crock pot) cookbook has at least a hundred great bean recipes in it! My wife brought it home and I'm sold on it. The "Bean Main Dishes" section alone has 53 recipes. Recipes are short, simple, tasty, and don't use weird ingredients that you don't already have. And, while I'm excited about the bean recipes (the Sausage Bean Quickie will be the first one we try), the rest of the recipes also look wonderful. The cover says it's a "National #1 bestselling cookbook!" I believe it. Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
