Categories     Side Dish

Time 16h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb. dried navy or great Northern beans, rinsed and sorted
½ lb. bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup ketchup
¾ cup molasses
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 cups chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, chives or sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Place beans in a large bowl or pot. Cover with water by 2 inches. Cover and let stand overnight. Drain and rinse the beans.
  • Place the beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water (about 1 quart). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so that the liquid is at a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and simmer the beans until tender, about 1 ½ hours. Drain and rinse.
  • Preheat oven to 325° F.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pot (discard any excess).
  • Add the onion to the drippings in the pot and season with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans, bacon, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, dry mustard, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Add enough of the broth to cover the beans (if necessary, add water as well to cover the beans).
  • Cover and bake until the beans are tender, about 2 hours, stirring the pot halfway through.
  • Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, chives or sliced green onions.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned beans. Look for beans that are plump and not wrinkled, and avoid cans that are dented or bulging.
  • Rinse the beans before using them. This will remove any excess starch and help to reduce the beany flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans. Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add plenty of flavorings. Brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce are all classic baked bean flavors, but you can also add other spices and herbs to your liking.
  • Don't overcook the beans. Baked beans are best when they are slightly firm, so don't cook them for too long.
  • Serve the baked beans hot. Baked beans are a great side dish for grilled meats or chicken, and they can also be served as a main course with a side of bread or rice.

Conclusion:

Fake baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a pot of flavorful baked beans that will please the whole family.
