  • Soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add the brown sugar and molasses towards the end of the cooking time. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Season the beans to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the beans hot with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, coleslaw, or potato salad.
