Homemade Baked Beans
These homemade baked beans are sweet, savory, and incredibly flavorful. With the right mix of spices and ingredients, you’ll have a dish that’s not only easy to make but also packed with taste. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need!
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried navy beans
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 strips of bacon, chopped
Instructions
- Start by soaking the dried navy beans in water overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce cooking time.
- The next day, drain and rinse the beans. In a large pot, add the soaked beans and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour until the beans are tender.
- While the beans are cooking, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, ketchup, molasses, mustard, salt, and black pepper to create a tasty sauce.
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it’s crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Return the cooked bacon to the pot.
- Once the beans are cooked, drain them and add them to the bacon and onion mixture. Pour the sauce over the beans, stirring to combine everything well.
- Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are thick and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade baked beans as a delightful side dish!
