I chop my bacon, but it's mixed in. I'm thinking this would make the bacon a little crunchy on top.

Crunchy is good. It's bacon. Call it "texture..."

Never miss an opportunity.

I thought so too. It is what I liked about it.

So many carbs. No wonder America is such a fat nation !

Lack of exercise is more likely the culprit here

Has PETA seen this? If they think foie gras (not American) is unethical, they won't like this either.

Personal stats on foie gras: great (1; Montreal), ok (1; Lake Charles), not good (0)

Isn't that just baked beans?

The discussion was over putting the bacon on top vs mixing it in with the beans.

I put bacon on top, but don't chop mine up. Some folks don't want it, some do. The important factor is the 50/50 ratio of onions and beans, in my reckoning. Add Maple syrup and a proper shot of lea and perrins (about a quarter cup for me) and cook em low and slow. I don't know how crunchy the bacon will get, as I think about it more.

As the weather gets cooler, the baked beans look better and better.

I'll take baked beans any way you make them, so long as they're good. The locals here like to put ground beef in the baked beans, which I'm sure someone saw in Southern Living
