Time 2h30m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices regular bacon, diced
1 medium onion, cut into small dice
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 red bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 fresh jalapeno, chopped
4 large cans (28 ounces each) pork and beans
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup distilled or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 chipotle peppers, minced
6 slices thin bacon

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the regular chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet until the bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Add the onions, peppers and jalapenos, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and chipotles, and bring to a simmer. (If the skillet is not large enough, add the beans and heat to a simmer and then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients). Pour the flavored beans into an aluminum pan. Top with the uncooked slices of bacon (you can halve the slices if you like). Then bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

BEST BAKED BEANS

These beans are truly the most fantastic baked beans we have ever had. I can't even begin to describe them. I even had them for lunch as a main dish. We used leftover smoked pulled pork, but you can substitute 1/2 pound crumbled cooked sausage if you don't have any on hand.

Navy beans, molasses, and maple syrup combine to make this classic dish at home.

Provided by wkndyummychef

Categories     Side Dish     Beans and Peas     Baked Bean Recipes

Time 15h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried navy beans
4 cups water
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon chili powder
1 small onion, chopped

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.

  • Add flavorings gradually: Start with a small amount of flavorings, such as salt, pepper, and garlic, and add more to taste.
  • Let the beans rest: After cooking, let the beans rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as cornbread, coleslaw, or potato salad.
