Steps:
- Anastasia's Best-Ever Baked Beans:.
- • 5 cans of pork and beans (15 ounce cans - VanCamps's Pork and Beans or similar).
- • 2 medium or 1 large onion, chopped (yellow or sweet onion, not vidalia).
- • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (for sauteing onions).
- • 3/4 cup ketchup.
- • 1/2 cup molasses.
- • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard.
- • 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar (use less for less sweetness).
- • 6 to 8 slices uncooked bacon, each cut in half or thirds.
- Preheat oven to 325* F. degrees f. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Saute onions over medium to medium-high heat in butter until onions are tender and translucent.
- Mix beans, sauteed onions, ketchup, mustard, molasses and brown sugar until blended well. Pour in prepared baking dish. Top with uncooked bacon in single layer (see photo above). Bake on middle rack of oven uncovered for 2-3 hours. Beans are ready when the top is dark and caramelized. Serve warm. Enjoy!
- TIP - Make in Slow Cooker.
- These can also be thrown together and cooked in the slow cooker set on low for 6 to 8 hours as well. It won't get that nice caramelize top, but it will still be delicious if you're in a pinch for time. Be sure to saute the onions first.
- BEANS FROM SCRATCH - If you want to make baked beans from scratch, head here for a great recipe - Boston Baked Beans - "A wonderful old-fashioned baked bean flavor. This recipe has served by family for 29 years and originally came from my mother-in-law. It tastes great served with fresh cornbread or biscuits and honey. Although you need to allow time for soaking and simmering the beans, this recipe is still quite easy.".

Steps:
- Soak. Rinse the beans and sort through them, discarding any beans that look "off" or any foreign objects. Place beans in Crock Pot and cover with 3-4 inches of water. You can also add them to a pot or bowl; I just like to use my Crock Pot stoneware because in the end that's one less dish to clean. Cover and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Pour the soaked beans into a colander and rinse well. Rinse out the Crock Pot. Set soaked beans aside; you'll add them back to the Crock Pot in a minute.
- Assemble. Add onion, pepper, broth, molasses, brown sugar, olive oil, dry mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to Crock Pot. Mix until combined. Add back your soaked and drained beans and stir until combined. Add bay leaf.
- Cook. Cook on high for 8-10 hours or on low for 12-14 hours. Note: Slow Cookers can vary, so the first time you make this, you may want check on it periodically and see if you need more broth or water after the first few hours. But don't worry, your beans shouldn't turn to mush! The molasses helps to prevent that.
- Leftover beans keep up to three days refrigerated in an airtight container. They also freeze well.

Steps:
- In the morning, put the beans in a large pot and fill with water. Bring the beans to a boil, discard the water and bring to a boil for a second time, again discard the water. Cook until the beans reach the desired softness, they will not soften in the VitaClay pot. Mix the remaining ingredients (except onion and bacon) in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, boil until thick. Line the bottom of the clay pot with some of the bacon, mix the sauce, onion and beans together, then add to the clay pot. Top with remaining bacon.

Select 'slow cook', 'soup' - 2 hours After the two hours is up the pot will switch to the 'keep warm' feature which is about 156 degrees. Allow it to remain in the 'keep warm' for about 4 or 5 hours.
