THREE-BEAN BAKED BEANS (OVEN OR CROCK POT)



Three-Bean Baked Beans (Oven or Crock Pot) image

This is my summer time dish for all BBQ's and I always double the recipe. If you enjoy baked beans you have to try this one. It's from a '98 TOH and whenever I make it someone always asks for the recipe. I have personally never made it in the oven since the crock pot does just fine and who wants to heat up the house in the summer? When using the crock pot I will take the lid off for the last hour or so (+/-) of cooking - this will thicken it up if you like your beans thick right at serving. Leftovers freeze very well.

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Using a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans adds flavor and texture to the baked beans. Some good options include kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and navy beans.
  • Adding aromatics: Aromatics, such as onion, garlic, and celery, add flavor to the baked beans. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as bay leaves, thyme, and peppercorns.
  • Using a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the baked beans will add flavor to the dish. Some good options include beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth. You can also use water, but it will result in a less flavorful dish.
  • Simmering the beans: Simmering the beans allows them to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. It also helps to thicken the sauce.
  • Adding a sweetener: A sweetener, such as brown sugar or molasses, adds a touch of sweetness to the baked beans. You can also add other sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

3-bean baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. They can be served as a main course or a side dish. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect pot of 3-bean baked beans.
