What's your favorite brand of canned beans?
I love Van Camp's Pork & Beans. They have a mildly sweet flavor, but with the great flavor of the beans coming through. And I can taste the pork. They compliment hotdogs and little smokey sausages perfectly, too.
After that, it's B&M Boston Baked ebans, with that rich mollases flavor. Coming in a close third, give me most of what Bush's Baked Beans has to offer.
Of course, your own favorite bake bean recipe will be better because you can tayloy it to your favorite flavors. but for pre-made, flavored, canned beans, those are my favorite three, in that order. Bonus, they can all be doctored if I feel the need.

Ranch Style bean. Non-sweet, basic western beans. Also good starting point for customizing. The beans equivalent of the grocery shrink ray has struck them, too, since ConAgra moved them out of Ft. Worth. Fewer beans, more liquid, but the flavor is unchanged.

Bush's Boston Recipe. It is the closest to homemade beans. After that it is B&M. Both use molasses and pork in their recipe.

I'm not crazy about sweet baked beans. But, I do use Bush's canned beans to make my favorite bean dishes.

Campbells for a pork and bean, which I doctor quite a bit.
Goya for other canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, etc.)

Homemade. I haven't eaten canned baked beans since I was a teenager at Girl Scout Camp.
