Steps:
- Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water. Use a sharp knife to cut 3 or 4 slits evenly spaced through skin on ham hocks. Add ham hocks, onion, celery, bay leaves, garlic, liquid smoke, basil, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper to the water and bring to a good boil for 1 hour.
- Add beans to the pot. Return to a boil and cook gently until beans are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check liquid level often and add more water if necessary.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Transfer bacon to a large bowl and add onion.
- Use a slotted spoon to dip beans and ham hocks out of the water and into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Reserve liquid from the beans. Clean all meat off of the ham hocks, discard bones, and add meat to the bowl with the bacon and onions.
- Mix in pineapple, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in steak sauce, good steak sauce, and garlic. Add liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper; mix until completely incorporated. Fold in bacon mixture. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Pour bean mixture into the baking pan and add some reserved bean liquid over beans if necessary.

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans. This will give your baked beans a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to baked beans. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, zucchini, or tomatoes.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is what gives baked beans their flavor. You can use water, broth, or a combination of both. If you're using water, you can add some herbs, spices, or a bay leaf to flavor it. If you're using broth, choose a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or beef broth.
- Season the beans well: Don't be afraid to season the beans well. This will help to bring out their flavor. Some good seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
- Bake the beans low and slow: Baked beans are best when they're cooked low and slow. This allows the flavors to meld and the beans to become tender. Bake the beans at 300°F for 2-3 hours, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the beans with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some good options include cornbread, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and potato salad.
Conclusion:
Baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make baked beans that are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give baked beans a try.
