Does this recipe really call for 4-28 oz cans of pork and beans? 112 oz?

I love this recipe. I use it several ways. I make the original recipe for baked beans, which any self respecting southener knows are mandatory with ham and sweet potatoes or at a BBQ. When I am craving beanies and weenies I leave the juice in the pinto beans and add smoked sausages and make beer bread to go with... When I am craving pinto beans, I simply substitute all beans for pintos, including juice, whip out my black iron skillet and make corn bread. I will never soak and boil pintos again - Thank you Paula for that!

Very good and oh so easy to make. I doubled the recipe in order to feed a crowd at a barbecue cookoff. Everyone enjoyed! Carolyn Tillery Mount Vernon, TX
