Boston Baked Beans anyone???

I have always wanted to try to make homemade Boston Baked Beans.   But.....I have this fear of dry beans for some weird reason.   I know, it sounds crazy.    I didn't grow up with anyone in my family using dry beans to make things...(that I know of anyway)  LOL    So it is unfamiliar territory for me.  
So you are probably wondering, Why now??    Well I love baked beans.  My family loves baked beans.  I often stick to just the basic can of Bush's beans, (Boston baked or Country style are our favorites).   I thought to myself how hard can it be to make them???   I looked up a few recipes and found this one that looked easy enough, no weird ingredients and hey I actually had a bag of Northern beans in the pantry.
  
*I bought them in hopes of attempting to incorporate more inexpensive meals that incorporate beans*


So here is my chance.   I found this recipe and it was super easy.  (and you get a little history lesson as well),

 Now I must say at this point we haven't eaten them yet, *they are still cooking*  LOL   But the house smells amazing and the fact that they just go in the slow cooker and you leave them alone to cook all day is super awesome in my book.  


If these turn out well I have a feeling my family might be saying, "Please, no more beans..LOL "
We won't eat these until tomorrow even though they are cooking today.  Ryan's 12th birthday is tomorrow and his "birthday" meal is hamburgers, hot dogs, my super cheesy homemade mac and cheese and baked beans.    (I could have just opened a can, but it wouldn't be the same now would it?)   :)
