My mom's baked beans are the best I've ever tasted! contends field editor Sue Gronholz of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups dried great northern beans (about 1 pound) |
1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons molasses |
3 small onions, chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Sort beans and rinse with cold water. Place beans in a large saucepan; add water to cover by 2 in. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 to 4 hours or until beans are softened. Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid.
2. Return beans to pan. Cover with fresh water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until beans are tender.
3. Drain, reserving liquid. Combine beans, 1 cup liquid and remaining ingredients in a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally (add additional reserved liquid if needed). Yield: 8-10 servings.
