Time 7h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 slices regular bacon, diced
1 medium onion, cut into small dice
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 red bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 fresh jalapeno, chopped
4 large cans (28 ounces each) pork and beans
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup distilled or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 chipotle peppers, minced
6 slices thin bacon

Steps:

Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Fry the regular chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet until the bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Add the onions, peppers and jalapenos, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and chipotles, and bring to a simmer. (If the skillet is not large enough, add the beans and heat to a simmer and then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients). Pour the flavored beans into an aluminum pan. Top with the uncooked slices of bacon (you can halve the slices if you like). Then bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound hamburger
1/2 pound bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium onion, chopped into 1/2-inch dice
1 (16 oz) can pork and beans
1 (12 oz) can kidney beans
1 (12 oz) can lima beans
1 (12 oz) can butter bean

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Tips:

Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and economical than canned beans. If you use dried beans, soak them in water overnight before cooking.
Add some sweetness: The addition of molasses, brown sugar, or maple syrup adds a delicious sweetness to the beans.
Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans, such as pinto beans, navy beans, and kidney beans.
Add some smokiness: Smoked bacon, ham, or sausage adds a delicious smoky flavor to the beans.
Cook the beans slowly: The key to tender, flavorful beans is to cook them slowly. Simmer the beans for at least 2 hours, or until they are tender.
Serve with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a great side dish for all sorts of meals, such as grilled chicken, pork chops, or hamburgers.
