Categories     side-dish

Time 16h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dried navy beans
8 ounces salt pork
1 large onion, chopped
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a large bowl or pot with water to cover and soak at room temperature overnight.
  • The next day, dice half the salt pork and leave the other half in 1 piece. Drain the beans and put them in a large Dutch oven with the whole piece of salt pork and enough water to cover, about 1 quart. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and simmer until soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the diced salt pork in another large Dutch oven (or clean the first one) and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, molasses, ketchup, dry mustard, cooked beans and enough of the reserved cooking liquid to cover the beans. If necessary, add more water to cover the beans.
  • Bake, covered, until the beans are soft to the tooth and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 2 hours. When finished, season with some salt and pepper and serve hot.

CARLA'S BEST-EVER BAKED BEANS



Carla's Best-Ever Baked Beans image

This is the only way I make my baked beans, and now it's the only way everyone that has ever eaten them makes their baked beans. I can't believe a similar recipe wasn't already published! Everyone loves these, and they are SOOO easy. Intead of a fresh chopped onion and green bell pepper, I use a frozen chopped red, green and yellow bell pepper and onion blend. I couldn't get it to recognize that igredient, so I just wrote 1 pepper and 1 onion... I keep the bell pepper and onion blend in my freezer at all times, and use them in a lot of dishes.

These beans are truly the most fantastic baked beans we have ever had. I can't even begin to describe them. I even had them for lunch as a main dish. We used leftover smoked pulled pork, but you can substitute 1/2 pound crumbled cooked sausage if you don't have any on hand.
