SIMPLE MAPLE BAKED BEANS



Simple Maple Baked Beans image

I came up with this recipe in a pinch after running out of baked beans at our oldest daughter's birthday party. I dressed up canned beans with maple syrup and a few other ingredients to produce this sweet, saucy version that tastes like homemade. They're so easy to fix that I rarely make baked beans from scratch anymore.

MAPLE BAKED BEANS

Categories     side-dish

Time 7h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound dry red kidney beans
2 quarts water
1 large yellow onion, cut in eighths
1 bay leaf
6 whole black peppercorns
3/4 cup medium amber pure maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Chinese chili paste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 ounces thick-cut smoked bacon, cubed

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water by 1-inch and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Drain and rinse the beans and then drain again.
  • Place the beans in large pot with 2 quarts water, the onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until tender. A good test is to scoop up several beans in a spoon and blow on them: if the skin starts to peel off, they're done. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, chili paste, ginger, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid, still reserving the remaining liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes.
  • Transfer the beans to a medium Dutch oven or a bean pot. Push half the bacon into the beans and place the rest on the top. Pour the maple syrup sauce over the beans. Place the lid on top and bake for 6 to 8 hours. Check occasionally; if the beans are too dry, add 1/2 cup more of the cooking liquid. If you like, you can remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Discard the bay leaf. Serve hot.

Categories     Bean     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Bacon     Maple Syrup     Cookie     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dried navy or great northern beans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 thick strips bacon

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pan, cover the beans with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • 3. In a bowl, combine everything else except the bacon. Stir in the beans.
  • 4. Place 1 bacon strip at the bottom of a large ovenproof dish or Dutch oven. Pour the bean mixture over it, then push the other strip in.
  • 5. Add just enough boiling water to the pot to cover everything.
  • 6. Cover the pot with aluminum foil, then a lid. Bake for 5 hours, checking hourly to make sure the beans aren't drying out. (Add more water as necessary to keep them submerged.) 7 Uncover for the last half hour to brown the top, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality maple syrup: Use a dark or amber maple syrup for a richer flavor. Avoid using light or golden maple syrup, as it will not provide the same depth of flavor.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more tender. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all great options. You can also use a mix of different beans for a more complex flavor.
  • Add some smoky flavor: Smoked paprika or chipotle powder are great ways to add a smoky flavor to the beans. You can also add a smoked ham hock or piece of bacon to the pot while cooking.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Quebecois maple syrup baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon, and they can be served as a main course or a side dish. With their sweet and smoky flavor, these beans are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give Quebecois maple syrup baked beans a try. You won't be disappointed!
