MARY'S BAKED BEANS
Steps:

- Add the bacon to a large skillet and fry over medium heat until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 4 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet.
- Add the beans, ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, dry mustard and onions to an 8-by-8-inch casserole dish. Add in the bacon fat from the skillet. Lay the reserved bacon strips on top of the bean mixture. Bake until heated through, 30 to 45 minutes.
BAKED BEANS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND CHIPOTLES
I used Rancho Gordo Mexican heirloom San Franciscano beans for this richly flavored dish. The beans are dark reddish purple, not too big, with an earthy, sweet taste that fits perfectly into this slightly sweet and spicy baked bean dish. From the supermarket, use red beans or pintos.

Steps:
- Place beans and soaking water in an ovenproof casserole. Add bay leaf and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 hour. Check beans at regular intervals to make sure they are submerged, and add water as necessary.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 300 degrees . Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir onion and garlic into beans, along with salt to taste, tomato paste, honey or agave nectar, and chipotles, and stir together. Add sweet potatoes and bring back to a simmer, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and place in oven.
- Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until beans are thoroughly soft and sweet potatoes are beginning to fall apart, checking and stirring from time to time to make sure that beans are submerged. Either add liquid or push them down into the simmering broth if necessary. Remove from heat and serve hot or warm.

MIKE'S MOM'S BAKED BEANS
I'm not sure who Mike is, much less his mom. But my husband had some of these beans at a pot-luck party and the hostess tracked down Mike for the recipe. Now they've become a top request for our family dinners. I've suggested changing the name, but my husband won't hear of it. To him, these will always be Mike's Mom's Baked Beans. If only I could find Mike and get some more of his mom's recipes!

Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more economical and have a better flavor than canned beans.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible.
- Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans. This will add flavor and texture to your dish.
- Add aromatics: Aromatics like onion, garlic, and celery add a lot of flavor to baked beans. Don't skimp on them!
- Use a flavorful liquid: Use a flavorful liquid like chicken broth or apple juice instead of water. This will help to enhance the flavor of the beans.
- Add some sweetness: Brown sugar, molasses, or maple syrup add a touch of sweetness to baked beans.
- Add some smokiness: Smoked paprika or liquid smoke adds a nice smoky flavor to baked beans.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender.
- Let the beans rest: After the beans are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to absorb the flavors.
