SLOW-COOKED MAPLE SYRUP BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Drain the beans and place them in a large pot with enough fresh, cool water to cover 2-inches.

Keep an eye on the pot and make sure there is plenty of water, add more as needed.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Drain excess water from the beans and place them in an ovenproof casserole dish or dutch oven.
• Cook the bacon over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet until limp. Alternatively, you can cook the bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add the bacon to the beans.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat in the pan. Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat until tender and slightly brown. (If you cooked the bacon in the oven, use a new saute pan with 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.) Add the onion to the beans.
• Add the maple syrup and mustard to the beans and stir to blend thoroughly.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the casserole loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven 2 to 3 hours. If the beans seem too dry, add up to 1/2 cup water. The beans are done when the liquid is very thick. This recipe comes from the Culinary Institute of America and is served in their American Bounty Restaurant.
