Baked Beans My Way Recipes

BAKED BEANS MY WAY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
• In a roaster or casserole dish, mix all ingredients well. Place in oven, I leave uncovered to get a nice coloring. The longer they cook the thicker they get. Stir occasionally, especially after they start bubbling, so as not to stick. Bake until desired thickness occurs. I usually cook mine for at least 1 hour and 30 min.
• These beans are so simple, yet so good.

BBQ BAKED BEANS--MY WAY

Steps:

• Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces (I use a pair of scissors) Actually, I just cut them in half.
• Chop onion and green pepper .. place in bottom of baking pan. *This is the time to add a fresh jalapeno too if suites your taste. Top with bacon half the bacon. Bake at 500 degrees till bacon is cooked
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover the top with remaining bacon.
• Bake at 325 degrees until beans are bubbly and sauce is syrup-like.. about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly before serving.

BAKED BEANS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Place the navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Or, bring the beans and water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
• Place the beans in a large saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir the ketchup, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and chili powder together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Once the beans have simmered for 1 hour, drain, and reserve the cooking liquid. Pour the beans into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and stir in the chopped onion and the molasses sauce. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking liquid so the sauce covers the beans by 1/4 inch.
• Cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), and cook 6 hours longer. Stir the beans after they have cooked for 3 hours. Once the beans are tender and the sauce has reduced and is sticky, remove from the oven, stir, recover, and allow to stand 15 minutes before serving.
