Baked Beans — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Yield 8

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900 g) Navy, Great Northern, or Pea beans, though black, kidney, or lima beans may be used for a different taste.
  • 1 pound (450g) bacon, diced
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1½ cups brown sugar
  • ¾ cup molasses

Instructions

  1. 1
    Soak dry beans overnight, or use 4 cans cooked beans.
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. 3
    Stir all ingredients together, then pour into casserole dish, bean pot or Dutch oven.
  4. 4
    Add water from beans, or preferably stock or fresh water. Just enough to barely cover. Canned beans may need less water. Beans will absorb more water as they cook.
  5. 5
    Bake 2½ hours. Check after an hour for moisture level, add more water as needed to keep appropriate moistness. If beans have too much liquid, remove lid and cook a bit longer.
