Steps:
- Anastasia's Best-Ever Baked Beans:.
- • 5 cans of pork and beans (15 ounce cans - VanCamps's Pork and Beans or similar).
- • 2 medium or 1 large onion, chopped (yellow or sweet onion, not vidalia).
- • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (for sauteing onions).
- • 3/4 cup ketchup.
- • 1/2 cup molasses.
- • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard.
- • 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar (use less for less sweetness).
- • 6 to 8 slices uncooked bacon, each cut in half or thirds.
- Preheat oven to 325* F. degrees f. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Saute onions over medium to medium-high heat in butter until onions are tender and translucent.
- Mix beans, sauteed onions, ketchup, mustard, molasses and brown sugar until blended well. Pour in prepared baking dish. Top with uncooked bacon in single layer (see photo above). Bake on middle rack of oven uncovered for 2-3 hours. Beans are ready when the top is dark and caramelized. Serve warm. Enjoy!
- TIP - Make in Slow Cooker.
- These can also be thrown together and cooked in the slow cooker set on low for 6 to 8 hours as well. It won't get that nice caramelize top, but it will still be delicious if you're in a pinch for time. Be sure to saute the onions first.

Steps:
- In the morning, put the beans in a large pot and fill with water. Bring the beans to a boil, discard the water and bring to a boil for a second time, again discard the water. Cook until the beans reach the desired softness, they will not soften in the VitaClay pot. Mix the remaining ingredients (except onion and bacon) in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, boil until thick. Line the bottom of the clay pot with some of the bacon, mix the sauce, onion and beans together, then add to the clay pot. Top with remaining bacon. Note: If you'd like, you can soak the navy beans overnight in water, instead of double boiling them before starting. Select 'slow cook', 'soup' - 2 hours After the two hours is up the pot will switch to the 'keep warm' feature which is about 156 degrees. Allow it to remain in the 'keep warm' for about 4 or 5 hours.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of beans, such as pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, and navy beans.
- Soak the beans overnight before cooking to reduce the cooking time.
- Use a slow cooker with a lid that fits tightly to prevent the beans from drying out.
- Add enough liquid to cover the beans by at least 2 inches.
- Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- For a smoky flavor, add a ham hock or smoked sausage to the slow cooker.
- Serve the baked beans with cornbread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
