These traditional baked beans have a nice blend of flavors and a thick pleasant sauce. They were a hit at our son's wedding. Ingredients:
2 pounds dried navy beans |
4 quarts water |
2 large onions, chopped |
1/2 pound bacon or salt pork, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1-1/2 cups ketchup |
1/2 cup molasses |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons prepared mustard |
1 tablespoon salt |
Directions:
1. Sort beans and rinse with cold water. Place beans in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; 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.
2. Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return to Dutch oven; add 4 qts. water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the beans are almost tender. Drain and reserve liquid. Combine beans with the remaining ingredients.
3. Transfer to two ungreased 2-1/2-qt. baking dishes or bean pots. Add 1-1/2 cups reserved cooking liquid to each casserole; stir to combine.
4. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until beans are as thick as desired, stirring occasionally. Add more of the reserved cooking liquid if needed. Yield: 16-18 servings.
