Description
Baked beans with molasses and bacon. From Your Daily Hit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454g) dry navy beans, soaked overnight and simmered until just tender
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/3 cup (80ml) molasses
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (480ml) bean cooking liquid or water
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Cook bacon and onion together until the onion is soft.
- Stir in molasses, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, salt, beans, and enough liquid to just cover the beans.
- Pour into a covered Dutch oven or bean pot. Bake 2 1/2 hours.
- Uncover for the last 30 minutes if you want a thicker top. The beans should be glossy, not dry.
Notes
Canned navy beans can skip the overnight soak. Drain two 15-ounce cans, cover them with the sauce, and bake about 90 minutes. Dry beans taste better if you have the time.
