Here's a copy of the recipe I got some time ago from Vicki Beausoleil:

If your beans are too watery then remove some, mash them, mix back in
and cook a bit more. Natural thickener.

Here's what I do. I never use a recipe, but this is the method.

Soak 1 lb. pea beans overnight. Change water, bring to a boil then
simmer about an hour until the skins split. Drain, put in Dutch oven
with a ton of onions, a couple of tablespoons prepared mustard, about
1/4 cup ketchup or you could use tomato paste, lots of pepper, 1/4 - 1/2
cup molasses or as much as you think you should. Cover beans with
boiling water and cook in a 200 degree F oven for at least 8 hours. Add
boiling water if necessary. Uncover and continue to bake to darken and
thicken. Stir occasionally. This recipe gets better the longer it cooks,
I've cooked it for 24 hours and it's great. I put neither meat nor
sweetener in my beans.

Very important: Don't salt anything until beans are very tender. Salt
will toughen the beans and they won't absorb water well.

This recipe makes my 8-qt. Dutch oven almost full. 15 - 20 servings at
least. They never seem to taste the same twice, but hub always gobbles
them up with a 'you should make these more often'. Excellent with eggs
for breakfast in the morning.
I've used the same method in the crockpot, but they don't darken as
much. The oven works better.

For easy Baked Beans, you can look for "Grandmas Baked Beans". Walmart
carries them. Unlike other canned baked beans, they have very low carbs and
low sugar. They are densly packed with beans with very little liquid. I
add a little water to cook them on the stove top or in the microwave. I add
some onion powder, cayenne pepper and after the cooking is finished, I add
some sugar free maple flavored syrup (also from Walmart). They can be
pretty good if you add enough spices. Usually, I add some cooked nathans
hot dogs as well. I find about 1/3 can is my portion for lunch.

How many carbs do these have? and how much sugar?

Ok, here's the data off the can

Serving Size 1/2 Cup:
Total Carbs 28g
Dietary Fiber 8g
Net Carbs 20g
Sugars 3g

Compare that sugar number to most other baked beans with all sorts of
sweeteners added.
Taking some advice from the posters in the other baked beans thread, I made
these beans today with:
Onion powder
Cayenne pepper
Artificial Smoke flavoring
Worstershire sauce

I left out the sugar free syrup and i've got to say, this was the best I've
had since I'd been using these beans.

The sugar number is irrelevant. Two numbers matter the
Net Carbs: 20gm per half-cup
And the number on your meter about an hour later.

Who cares what the sugar number is? It's the total carbs minus the
fiber that you want to look at. That's what will quickly turn to
glucose when you eat it.

Priscilla

I must disagree with your generalization. There are carbs that convert to
sugar quickly and carbs that convert slowly. Hence, the GI Index and GI
load. I can usually tolerate some extra carbs as long as the sugars are
low. Of course, it's a personal thing and must be checked with your own
meter.

How many carbs? Beans alone generally have significant carbs
by themselves.

That's why I'm asking. Ed said "Grandmas Baked Beans were very low carb"
