Homemade Boston Baked Beans
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups navy beans
- ½ pound bacon
- 1 onion finely diced
- 3 tablespoon molasses
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Rinse the dried beans with water and place them in a bowl. Cover them with cold water and soak them overnight.
- After soaking, drain the water from the beans and put them in a pot. Add 6 cups of cold water to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the beans for 1-2 hours until they are tender. Drain the water and reserve it.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Take a 2-quart bean pot or casserole dish and layer the bottom of it with a portion of the cooked beans, then add a layer of diced bacon and chopped onion. Continue layering the beans, bacon, and onion until you've used them all.
- In a saucepan, combine molasses, salt, pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then pour it over the layered beans in the casserole dish.
- Pour just enough of the reserved bean water over the beans to cover them.
- Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake it in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the beans are tender.
- Remove the lid about halfway through cooking and add more liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from drying out.
- Once the beans are cooked, take them out of the oven and serve them hot.
