BOSTON BAKED BEANS WITH BACON
Since you are cooking the beans in the oven for about 4 hours, I strongly suggest to use only dried beans for this, as the canned with get way too soft. The beans have to soak overnight in water so plan a day ahead. This can also be make successfully in a crockpot for a longer cooking time. The ingredients really do not have to be exactly measured for this. This is well worth the time to make, this bean bake is very good!

Steps:
- Do this a day before: place the beans in a large bowl.
- Add enough cold water to cover the beans by 3 inches.
- Let stand at room temperature overnight.
- The next day drain the beans very well in a colander; set aside.
- Set oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large oven-proof Dutch oven cook the bacon pieces until crisp (about 7-8 minutes).
- Add in well-drained beans and all the remaining ingredients; mix well to combine and bring to a boil on top of the stove.
- Transfer the pot to the oven.
- Bake uncovered until beans are tender and the liquid thickens, stirring occasionally (about 3-1/2 - 4 hours).
- *NOTE* this can be made a day ahead (even better as the flavors blend!) cover and refrigerate, just bring the beans to a simmer before serving.
Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and budget-friendly than canned beans. Remember to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Cook the bacon until crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the dish. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon, or it will steam instead of crisp.
- Use a variety of beans: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables like chopped onions, bell peppers, and carrots add color and nutrition to the dish.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors together. Use a combination of ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce for a classic baked beans flavor.
- Bake the beans low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and the beans to become tender. Bake the beans for at least 2 hours, or until the beans are soft and the sauce has thickened.
Conclusion:

With its combination of sweet, smoky, and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
