Cook's Country Baked Beans ala Tina image

I bought two old bean pots from an antique store and a resale shop. Since I am now retired and there seems to be a lot of potlucks in our lives, I thought I needed to perfect a bean recipe. America's Test Kitchen has a quick way to soften the beans. Science has the Baking Soda magically softening the beans in the 20 minute...

Categories     Casseroles

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb navy beans
1 Tbsp baking soda
6 oz salt pork in 1/4 inch pieces rind removed
1 onion diced
3 c water
6 Tbsp dark brown sugar packed
1/3 c molasses
3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp dijon mustard (rounded)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Sort Beans and place in large pot. Cover with water, add Baking Soda and bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue at a healthy simmer for 20 minutes.
  • 2. Drain the beans, rinse beans and pot and set beans aside. Meanwhile, in same pot sauté salt pork until browned and crisp. Remove pork, add to beans. In same pot, add onion and sauté until translucent
  • 3. Return beans and pork to pot. Add 3 cups water, Brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, Dijon, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and bring to a boil.
  • 4. Remove from heat, cover and place in a 350 degree oven. Bake 1 1/2 hours ( if your lid is not very tight, you may have to add a bit more water if it looks dry after an hour or so. ) Uncover and bake an additional 1/2 hour. Taste for seasonings. You may want to add a bit more dark brown sugar, mustard or vinegar, salt and pepper....depending on your family's preference.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I added a few extra chipotle peppers to this recipe. It was delicious!

I'm not sure if it was the brand of beans I used or what, but my baked beans turned out really watery. I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

These baked beans are a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of brown sugar next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the bacon for tempeh. It was delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my baked beans turned out mushy. I'll have to try again.

OMG! These baked beans are incredible! I accidentally doubled the bacon and it was the best mistake I've ever made.
