Chilkoot Baked Beans Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the Beans

   Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water and place them in a large bowl. Cover with water and let them soak overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Beans

   In a large pot, add the soaked beans and 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Mixture

   In the same pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the cooked beans back to the pot along with brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Bake the Beans

   Transfer the mixture to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 hours. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to allow for browning.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a hearty side dish.
