Categories     Side Dish

Time 12h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dried navy beans
8 ounces thick cut bacon (, diced)
1 medium yellow onion (, finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (, minced)
1/2 cup plain tomato sauce or ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place the dried beans in a pot of water covered by a few inches of water and let soak overnight. Drain the beans, place them back in the pot with fresh water and bring to a boil. Simmer for one hour, then drain, reserving the liquid. See NOTE.
  • In a Dutch oven or other oven-proof pot fry the bacon until crispy then add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.Stir in the tomato sauce, molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and bay leaf.Add 1 1/2 cups of the reserved bean water and the beans.Bring everything to a simmer for a minute or two to heat it up. In the meantime preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Transfer the Dutch oven with the lid on to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 2 to 3 hours or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened, removing the lid during the last 20-30 minutes to help the sauce thicken. NOTE: If at any point during the cooking process too much liquid evaporates and the beans get dry, add a little more of the reserved bean water. The beans themselves can vary from batch to batch and you may end up either needing to add more liquid if the beans are too dry or you may need to bake the beans longer with the lid off if there is too much liquid. Adjust as needed.Add more salt the pepper to taste.Serve immediately or let cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • SLOW COOKER METHOD: Follow steps 1 and 2 and then pour everything into the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours or until the beans are tender. Open the lid for the last 30 minutes or longer until the sauce has thickened. If the beans are too thick at any point and too much liquid has evaporated, stir in a little extra water.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bacon
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely chopped
Four 14-ounce cans pork and beans
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the drippings, and drain it on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the pan with the bacon drippings and saute until softened, a couple minutes. Stir in the beans, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and crumbled bacon, and mix well.
  • Pour the beans into a 3-quart casserole and bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight before cooking to reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans, 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 for a more complex flavor. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Add some aromatics to the pot, such as onion, garlic, and celery, to enhance the flavor of the beans.
  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Simmer the beans for at least 1 hour, or until they are tender. If using a slow cooker, cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Serve the beans hot with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
