Hi,
Does anyone have a recipe for baked beans that tastes similar to the canned stuff?
I feel really weird for asking for a recipe to recreate a canned food. But DD loves canned baked beans and I would love to give her a healthier, home-made option. I have a great recipe for baked beans (balkan style), but she doesn't like it nearly as much. I tried a few other recipes but they don't come close. If I have a base recipe, that is similar, I can start experimenting to make it healthier (reduce the sugar, etc.). The few recipes I have found online, use a large amount of tomato sauce (ketchup) and that is not an ingredient I am comfortable using in large quantities in children's food. I'd rather go further back and use tomato paste, if that makes sense.

I hope someone here has some ideas.
Thanks in advance.
