The Ultimate Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Pick through the beans and remove any pebbles. Place beans in a colander and rinse under cold water. Transfer the beans to a large pot or bowl, add water to cover by 2-inches and let soak overnight. The beans will rehydrate and swell to twice their size. Drain and rinse the beans, then put in a saucepan. Cover the beans with fresh water and place over medium heat. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the bacon. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until the beans are tender but not breaking apart. Transfer the beans and broth to a 2-quart oven-safe dish. Lay bacon slices in a single layer on top of the beans. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook the bacon.

Steps:

• Cut bacon into bite size pieces.
• Cook bacon in microwave, checking after each minute, or cook in a skillet, draining fat.
• Don't let it get crisp.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in a 3 quart casserole dish.
• Add bacon and mix a little.
• Bake uncovered for one hour at 350*.
• It's best if they set out to cool for one hour before you serve them.

Steps:

• Use California pea beans, York State beans or small white navy beans.
• Soak beans overnight. Ensure water covers the beans by 4 - 5 inches. The beans will soak up the water.
• In the morning, preheat oven to 325°F
• Place the baking soda in a large pot and fill half way with water. Bring to a boil and add the beans. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and run cold water through them. Set aside.
• Cut the bacon into 1 inch lengths. Put half of the bacon on the bottom of a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish (needs lid). Add the onion. Put beans in the casserole. Put the remaining bacon on top of the beans.
• Mix the sugar, molasses, mustard, salt and pepper with 3 cups of hot water and pour over the beans. Cover the casserole with the lid and place in preheated oven.
• Bake for 6 hours. Check the casserole periodically to check the amount of liquid. Add water to the beans slowly as needed to keep them moist; do not flood them.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Place the navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and transfer beans to a pot; add enough water to cover beans.
• Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until beans are slightly tender, about 1 hour.
• Mix 4 cups water, molasses, brown sugar, salt, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
• Mix beans, salt pork, and onion together in a slow cooker. Add molasses mixture and more water to cover beans if needed; stir well.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
• Saute onion and bell pepper in the bacon grease over medium-high heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add baked beans, apple pie filling, pulled pork, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, barbeque rub, and cayenne. Pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and hot, about 1 hour.
