Baked Beans Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Beans
Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water and soak them in a large bowl with enough water to cover them for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Cook the Beans
After soaking, drain the beans and place them in a large pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Bacon and Onion
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and chop it into pieces. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beans, bacon, sautéed onion, garlic, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Bake the Beans
Transfer the mixture to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) in a baking dish. Bake uncovered for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly.
