Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
1 large Vidalia onion, diced
Four 15.5-ounce cans great Northern beans
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Candied Jalapenos, recipe follows
1 pound jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon in a large ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 7 minutes, then set aside to drain on a paper towel. Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the beans, molasses, tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, 1/4 cup water and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine well. Let the mixture simmer for a minute or so. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the beans are very tender and dark and the sauce is thick, 1 1 /2 to 2 hours.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and top with Candied Jalapenos and bits of bacon.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Thinly slice the jalapenos and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Combine the brown sugar, granulated garlic, mustard, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl. Brush the slices of jalapeno with the olive oil. Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the top. Bake until the jalapenos are crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Add aromatics to the pot: This will help to infuse the beans with flavor. Some good options include onion, garlic, celery, and carrots.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: This is the key to making delicious baked beans. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet and savory.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Baked beans are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make the best baked beans you've ever tasted. Whether you serve them at a backyard barbecue or a holiday gathering, your guests will be sure to enjoy them.
