NOT TOO SWEET DUTCH OVEN BAKED BEANS image

I have never made baked beans before. My mother made them, and my sister makes them, but I never have. I guess I didn't want to compete. Until now. These are guaranteed to be awesome. Recipe & photo: Familycircle.com 08-06-15

Time 9h35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 lb thick-cut bacon, roughly chopped
1 large yellow onion, diced
1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 clove garlic, finely chopped (about 2 tbsp.)
1 lb dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
3 c ketchup
1/2 c packed light or dark brown sugar, plus more to taste
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1/2 c dijon mustard
1 Tbsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add onion and 1/4 tsp. of the salt; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, until onion is soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring so it doesn't brown.
  • 2. Add beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, dry mustard, chili powder, cumin, pepper, remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and enough water to just cover beans. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • 3. Carefully transfer to a 6-qt. slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours, until beans are tender. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

These beans were really good! I loved the combination of flavors. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of bean. I think pinto beans would be a good choice.

I'm a big fan of baked beans, and these were some of the best I've ever had. The beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and smoky. I will definitely be making these again.

These beans were a disappointment. They were mushy and the sauce was too thin. I won't be making this recipe again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it helped a lot. Overall, these beans were good, but not great.

These beans were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try using a different type of sweetener next time.

I've tried many Dutch oven baked bean recipes, but this one is by far the best. The beans are perfectly tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and thick. I highly recommend this recipe!
