I cannot take any credit for this recipe, other than I made it and it was amazing. AMAZING. I actually made these baked beans twice - once for a hall full of hungry firefighters, and once for family and friends. Both gave me a thumbs up.
Here are my suggestions to make these the most amazing:
* Use a plain canned pork and beans/vegetarian beans selection. Don't get too fancy with "grillin' beans" or flavored beans. There's no guarantee how those flavors will mesh with the additional ingredients.
*If you can get cottage bacon, which is what I had to use the first time because it was in my bi-monthly meat share, get it. Use it. Love it. Make it your new best friend.
* If you don't have time, use Sweet Baby Ray's original or Trader Joe's Carolina Gold BBQ sauce. I use the Carolina Gold. Amazing. (Have I used that word yet?)
* If you do have time, make your own. The Pioneer Woman also has an easy recipe for that:

We are a baked bean lovin' family. A loves them the way she loves her American Girl dolls and fudgesicles. If you have to go to a pot luck this summer, offer to make these. People will love you forever. For reals.
