I hadn't bought catsup in ages, but needed some for this recipe, so I bought a small bottle.
Also didn't have a can of pork and beans, just a can of baked beans, so that is what I used.
Found a "bigger" can of kidney beans...110 grams!
Will stock up on more "real size" canned beans the next time I go to the import market to buy our coffee beans.
I didn't have prepared mustard, only grainy, so that is what I used.
I should've added the molasses and brown sugar to give it another layer of flavor, but I felt there was enough sweetness from the beans and catsup.
And since I didn't have worcestershire sauce, I used a little okonomiyaki sauce.
No white vinegar either so I used rice vinegar.
Really ad-lib.
My mom would often make a big pyrex pot of this for our Sunday dinner gatherings and use kielbasa instead of portuguese sausage though.
Good memories and this hit the spot.

that's the sign of a great cook, when you can substitue so many things and still comes out ono!
My aunty used to make a baked bean casserole with hamburger that I really liked. I also like the baked beans from Bob's BBQ in Kalihi, really different flavor from my aunty's. I guess from scratch vs. cans, LOL

Take care.

Linguica! Where on earth did you find that?
Ho, you totally MacGyvered that and it came out so ono-looking!!
April G, I purchased some from a charcuterie maker in Chiba :)
Jalna, thank you :)
Take care you two.

it's funny when you mentioned your mom's pyrex, I thought, oh no! I should take my mother-in-law's pyrex collection before it ends up in the dump. I just don't have space, but it would be sad to throw all that old stuff away.
It turned out well in the end Kat!
Rowena, oh man, when I was cleaning out my mom's cupboards, there was so much stuff I wanted too!
Kirk, me too :)
Take care you two.
