Old Fashioned Brown Sugar And Molasses Oven Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Heat 10 cups water and the beans to boiling in ovenproof Dutch oven. Boil uncovered 2 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients except 3 cups water.
• Cover and bake 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in 3 cups water. Bake uncovered 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and desired consistency.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring beans, salt and 2 qt. water to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 1 hour. Drain beans and discard liquid. Return beans to pan. Cover with remaining water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving liquid. In a greased 2-1/2 qt. baking dish, combine beans, 1 cup liquid, onion, molasses, bacon, brown sugar, mustard and pepper. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until beans are as thick as desired thickness, stirring occasionally. Add more of the reserved cooking liquid if needed.

Steps:

• Remove stones from beans, rinsing well in a colander.
• Place beans in a large pan, adding a teaspoon of salt along with enough water to cover contents by 3 inches.
• Over high heat, bring beans to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, cover pan and let stand for 1 hour.
• Uncover pan, breing contents back to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
• As necessary, add more water to keep beans well covered.
• Drain beans well, reserving liquid.
• In a 2 1/2 quart bean pot (or casserole) combine molasses, brown sugar, mustard, ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add drained beans. Then stir in enough reserved cooking liquid to cover beans.
• Mil well.
• One one side of pot, push whole onion down into beans.
• Cut several gashes in the salt pork and push it down into beans on other side of the pot.
• Cover pot, place in oven and set heat to 350 degrees.
• Bake until beans are bubbling (about 1 hour).
• Reduce heat to 250 degrees and continue to bake for 6 to 8 hours more, stirring every hour or so.
• As beans cook, they will absorb liquid.
• Continue cooking, adding reserved liquid (or water) a little at a time to keep beans moist, but not soupy.
• Baked beans are done when thick and fragrant, with a deep, brownish red color.
• When serving, remove and discard onion, while keeping in sliced salt pork if desired.

Steps:

• Bring 10 cups water and navy beans to a boil in a large pot; cook at a boil for 2 minutes. Stir bacon, onion, brown sugar, molasses, and salt into the water.
• Carefully pour the mixture into a slow cooker.
• Cook on High, stirring occasionally, for 4 hours.
• Stir 3 cups water into the mixture. Continue cooking until beans are tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight in cold water. Simmer the beans in the same water until tender, approximately 1 to 2 hours. Drain and reserve the liquid.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Arrange the beans in a 2 quart bean pot or casserole dish by placing a portion of the beans in the bottom of dish, and layering them with bacon and onion.
• In a saucepan, combine molasses, salt, pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour over beans. Pour in just enough of the reserved bean water to cover the beans. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 3 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until beans are tender. Remove the lid about halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry.

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight, well covered with cold water.
• Pour off soaking water and pick over beans to remove any bad ones, or debris.
• Put beans in a pot.
• Cover with fresh cold water and add 1 tsp. baking soda.
• Bring to a boil and cook until skins of beans crack when you take one out on a spoon and blow on it.
• Cut onion in quarters and put in bottom of a bean crock or large casserole.
• Add the partially cooked beans.
• Put cut up salt pork on top.
• (Some people use the salt pork fat. I don't like fat, so I prefer to use the salt pork meat.) Combine brown sugar, molasses, mustard and salt with 1 1/2 cups boiling water.
• Pour over the beans.
• Add more boiling water, if needed, to come just to the top of the beans.
• Also, if needed during baking tme, add more boiling water.
• Bake, covered, at 300 degrees F for 6 hours, or until beans are tender.
