Baked beans seemed like the perfect recipe for a winter Saturday afternoon at home. After the initial prep, the beans go into the oven for over 5 hours, so there was lots of time to watch a movie or play computer games while we waited.

Looking back, we probably should have prepared something to go with the finished beans, but in the end a big bowl of beans was still a great meal!
