Slow-Cooked Homemade Baked Beans image

I like making baked beans from dried beans because they are not as mushy as canned baked beans. I found this recipe on a package of Publix dried navy beans. I make it as written on the package, but I add a few extra slices of bacon, 3 ounces of tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon vinegar. The "cooking" time does not include the time for soaking the beans.

Categories     Beans

Time 10h25m

Yield 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices smoked bacon
16 ounces dried navy beans
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • QUICK SOAK: Place 16 ounces of dried beans in a large saucepan with 6-8 cups of water. Cover and let stand overnight or at least 6-8 hours. Drain and rinse beans (discard soak water).
  • OVERNIGHT SOAK: Place 16 ounces of dried beans in a large saucepan with 6-8 cups water. Cover and let stand overnight or at least 6-8 hours. Drain and rinse beans (discard soak water).
  • TO COOK BEANS: Add 6 cups fresh water to the beans after soaking. Cover and bring just to boiling on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently with lid tilted, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until desired tenderness. Stir gently and very little to prevent breaking of skins; add water, if needed, during cook time. Makes about 6 cups of cooked beans.
  • TO MAKE BAKED BEANS: Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces. Combine with remaining ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours. Stir occasionally, if possible. Makes about 10 cups of baked beans. Note: the number of servings below depends on how many other side dishes there are.

I made these baked beans in my Instant Pot and they were done in no time. They were just as good as the slow cooker version.

These baked beans are a great way to use up leftover ham. I added some chopped ham to the beans and it was delicious.

These baked beans are a delicious and affordable meal. I used dried beans, which saved me a lot of money. And the best part is, they taste even better the next day.

I love this recipe because it's so easy to make. I just threw everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. The beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was thick and rich.

These baked beans are a great make-ahead dish. I made them the night before and they were even better the next day. I served them with grilled chicken and cornbread, and it was a hit with my family.
