Chuckwagon Baked Beans from Scratch 

Is everyone happy now that Dave has proven he can make baked beans now?

I was just thinking about the mead project, before I clicked on the tab for the beans and bam.... and update nice touch, and thanks.

I'm still loving these cooking videos.

Brought back memories of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill in the old TRINITY movies...always scarfing down obscene amounts of BEANS!! Thanks Dave, keep on rocking these out bro...👏

Loving the cooking series, but I would like to see some more trail cooking meals that I could make while backpacking

My grandmother would make them , i remember that dark molasses and brown sugar with big hunks of ham. So delicious. A full meal with a couple fresh buttered buns .

I made the last beans you showed. Don’t let them push you around! Those last beans are F***ing addicting!!

Beans are looking delicious Dave Canterbury,old school,like like this, wished there was more video on the Mead making,but over all well done. Would like to see u make shotgun shells recipe Dave Canterbury 👍

I doubt the individuals complainimg about the canned beans have even ever camped outside much less cooked baked beans from scratched in the bush. Good job Dave, those look delish.

My mouth was watering the whole time watching this. Now I have to go open up a can of Bush's Baked Beans!

Great video. Keep up the great work. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Beans are good for food when one is hiking. They dont weigh much. I allways bring them with me when I am outdoors.

Basecamp Cat likes beans & mead! 😻 I love baked beans. Grandpa would make them with ham saved from Sunday dinner. He would add chopped jalapeños, but then again he added jalapeños to just about everything. 😂

Third version of Dave's baked beans in as many months. I can live with that!

They look beautiful. I never thought about making homemade baked beans. Our have always come out of a can. Yours looks much better.👍🏼

Whiny people who can't appreciate everything Dave has done for the bushcraft community, beans weren't from scratch! Dave hold my mead I got this! Love all your videos Dave keep up the great work!

Watching these videos on an empty stomach has me raiding the fridge!

love your cooking series bro

My old appalachian mentors back in the day in the 70's added hare and squirrel meat and maple syrup to their beans.

Regarding the comments about using canned baked beans in this series. I would like to use a phrase that you used years ago on one of your videos when slicing through summer sausage, "let the haters hate". Please keep up the fantastic content!

A good helping of baked beans like that I could handle every day.

Bay leaves can be left whole for the same result and easier to remove, they don't soften and can taste very bitter (tannins). Thanks Dave! I will try the apple cider vinegar next time, looks amazing 😋

Wow that looks great! Thank you so much for taking us through the process.

Tammy was done cooking a pound of bacon for her beans when I asked if I could help by pouring off the ton of grease in that heavy iron frypan. "Pour it off? No way-- pour it all into those beans," yelled Tammy. Everybody thought they were great beans, and there were no heart attacks.

So…day and half to make beans….THIS is why you use cans people!!!!!!🤣 Had beans and cornbread last night. Mmmmmmmmmm

I was setting here drinking some mead decide to watch a bake bean video turned out to be a mead video. Who would have thought.

Looks good Dave. How about a small hint of Green Bell Pepper and some chopped Jalapenos? With or without, I could take them and put them away fast. Mmmmmmmm! P.S. I saw the version using Bush's beans as a starter and I'd gladly scarf all those too!😁

Thanks Dave. I've always wondered how to make baked beans not from a can. I've only known them from tins.

That cat is going to HATE IT when Dave finishes up his cooking series.

Beans look amazing Dave! Nothing like cooking in cast iron i won't cook in anything else.

The longer you can let it age the better it is

Definitely gonna try that recipe. You picked the perfect day, Chuck wagon beans on rainy day. No relation, but just picked up a Genuine Norlund tomahawk and hung it with a 25" Ames handle.

Looks absolutely delicious!

Thank you 👍.

looks really good would definitely like to try that

I bet those would go good with some cornbread & good portion of butter.

Great as usual Dave ! Much love from southwest Virginia

Hi Dave... when is a cookbook coming out? Your recipes are great!

I was expecting the classic crusty top beans, but that still looks really good Just need a hunk of cornbread and a bowl of greens to go with it now

Holy crap ! 😂 well Dave , that looked pretty darn good, thanks.

My brother-in-law has made his own wine (mead, Sake, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Shiraz, etc... )for the last few decades. He purchases his supplies from Label Peelers in Ravenna, Ohio. If you're serious about making your own wine, you might want to check out their inventory.

It looked so good. I can't help but think that Zahn has some potent stools.

wow that looked amazing Dave. I know you say how much of what ingredients you put in. Would you be able to put the amounts of everything in the description, for future recipes? Enjoying the videos. Thanks.

I started with one of those also. Then did a 3 gallon carboy of it. :D

Hmmm that looks delicious 😋🤤...I am coming to eat🤣😂

I missed it if you mentioned what variety of beans you used. They look like Navy beans. I have been using a variety called Cranberry beans. Also called October beans. Look like Pinto beans but have purple streaks. That disappear when cooking. Have a more creamy texture and the skins don't fall off. Cook like any other bean variety.

well...that's a fine looking recipe....but....thinking maybe ..the true wagon traveling pioneer family.. wouldn't have all those ingredients....but heck ...I do ....thks David

Looks good

Wow we have bees and I'm actually drinking Meade ATM. GREAT VIDEO

Looks Awesome sir!now im very hungry,😊

Still on the Navy's menu made it Saturday.

You outa do a show on pie irons and Shawn Kelly's. Palo bead I travel and camp on my quad due to past injuries I camp cook on pie irons almost exclusively

i miss homemade baked beans every sunday when i was a kid

Dave you're making me hungry lately

For those that are a bit nervous, Bay leaves may be eaten without toxic effect. However, they remain unpleasantly stiff even after thorough cooking, and if swallowed whole or in large pieces they may pose a risk of harming the digestive tract or causing choking.Thus, most recipes that use bay leaves will recommend their removal after the cooking process has finished.

Thanks Dave

Cold crash that mead and it will clear right up! Looks great 👍🏼

Yummmmmmmmm!!!!!! Awesome video my friend

My cat mustard use to love baked beans too she sadly passed couple weeks ago

Boil ham shanks in beans while they cook.

But canned beans are so good! I love the Heinz ones!

Needs brown bread or corn bread!

Great video

That looks awesome but it’s so complicated.

Can you stop with the cans already?!?! Lmao I'm just joking. Solid video brother. I guess next time you'll have to do a video on how to can tomato sauce 😂😂

You can do it HellToTheYeah 💪 looking tasty 😋

Those sausages and bacon would be a lot easier and less messy to cut if they were a little more frozen. Hope all is well mate. Dope content.

oo man now you gotta make mustard

I CAN SMELL IT COOKING!!!

lucky you, yall are getting rain

Dave,you still rocking the morakniv?

Looks good 😊 👍 Can I have some

Almost positive this is the same stuff they ate on Oregon Trail back in middle school #Floppy

I saw the title and thumbnail and wondeted how you cook baked beans in cast Iron without stripping the seasoning. The only baked beans i've eaten are in a tomato sause that is acidic. I like the look of this recipe, more of a bbq sauce.

Looks just right!

What? No cornbread? Lol

I'd make them with the bacon I just finished - Honey Bourbon Maple Syrup cherry wood smoked. Never have I ever eaten better tasting bacon. You will never see this stuff in any store, either. What happened to Matt Mercer? Haven't seen him post a SRO cooking video for a while.

Tomahawk still coming Dave ??

Looks yummy

Right, so I'm from the UK. I think our experience of baked beans is from a tin covered in tomato sauce. I've watched several videos about making traditional US baked beans. Are they supposed to be very sweet with a slight savoury taste from the bacon or a balance of the two? It just seems to me that the amount of sugar that goes into this dish makes it more of a desert than anything else. This is a genuine question. I would love to try traditional beans, I'm just curious about the taste. Great video as always.

Love this!

How does that siphon work? You would think that the whole tube would have to be lower than the container you are draining from. What makes the liquid go up in the tube?

They do look delicious brother! One question, do you fish the bay leaves out? And if you don’t, are they bitter?

Now we’re talking

Looks good to me!!!!

Just missing some cornbread or biscuits

Hey Dave where did you start the mead at? which video? And what service were you in?

Any thoughts of using a pressure cooker in the bush?

I don't see the issue. I'm a big foodie but there are 2 things I'll always prefer from a can. Baked beans and tuna. Idgaf

beans beans good for your heart the more you eat the more you fart the more you fart the more you eat them old beans are good for your heart. yeah! baked beans. keep ye powder dry

Dave rules

I got the prestigious "666"th upvote.

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

could i just buy the beans

What's the med did you make video on that ?

Where in Texas were you?

Cats.

The only thing i could see wrong with your chicken is that i was'nt helping you eat it lol.

Thanks Dave
