Ingredients

375 g dried roman beans or 375 g dried red kidney beans, soaked
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 slices bacon, cut into 1cm wide strips (thick, streaky)
2 red peppers, cut into 2cm squares
1 green pepper, cut into 2cm squares
1 (400 g) can peeled tomatoes, don't drain
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seed
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons golden syrup or 3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

Preheat oven to 160⁰C.
Rinse soaked beans, then put into saucepan & cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then strain & rinse with cold water.
Heat oil in a large enamelled cast-iron casserole & sauté onion, garlic, carrot & bacon. After 5 minutes, when onion has softened & bacon is sizzling, add red & green peppers.
Puree tomatoes & juice in a food processor & add to casserole with beans & remaining ingredients, except maple syrup. Mix well. Add sufficient cold water to cover beans by 4 cm.
Transfer casserole, tightly sealed, into oven & bake for at least 4 hours. Stir well after 2 hours, checking that it is still reasonably sloppy (if too dry, add a little water & reduce oven temp).
After 4 hours, stir in maple syrup, extra salt & plenty of freshly ground pepper.
The beans should now be in a rich sauce. If too thick, add a little water; if too runny & the beans are tender, increase oven temp & continue to cook.

I'm not a big fan of baked beans, but these were actually pretty good. I liked the smoky flavor from the bacon.

These baked beans are a great make-ahead dish. I often make them on the weekend and then reheat them during the week. They're always a hit with my family.

These baked beans were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar next time.

These baked beans were a disappointment. They were bland and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out poorly. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've made these baked beans a few times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and always turn out delicious. I love that I can adjust the ingredients to my liking, such as adding more or less bacon or brown sugar.
