    Get the recipe for Country Style Baked Beans. They are so simple to make using only a few ingredients.

    These Boston Baked Beans are easy to make with a few simple store-bought ingredients. Control the ingredients, quality and no preservatives added.

    Be sure and boil the beans for the recommended 10 minutes on the stove top. Otherwise the beans, no matter how long you cook them will never really become soft. Remember, cook them low and slow. Sometimes things that are really good, take time.

    The beans need time to marinate and soak in all the love from the sugars and spices. Stir only every once in a while, so you don’t mush the beans. You can find a vintage bean pot on Ebay, antique store (on occasion) or online at Pot Shop of Boston.

    I have my Grandfather’s bean pot (which is a one-gallon size and accommodates 3 pounds of beans well) and one from the Farmer’s almanac. For one like my Grandfather’s- you’ll like this one off Amazon.

    Making homemade baked beans is so easy and only requires a few simple ingredients. Get the recipe for Country Style Baked Beans. #recipe #grilling #foodblogger

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound dry navy beans
    • 1 small onion diced small
    • ½ green pepper diced small
    • 1 cup molasses
    • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
    • ½ cup ketchup
    • ½ cup brown sugar packed
    • ½ cup stone ground mustard
    • 6-8 slices of crispy cooked bacon drained on paper towel
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • salt & pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Soak the dry navy beans overnight in a bowl of cold water.
    • Drain the beans. Put the beans in a medium to large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Bring the beans to a boil and scrape off the foam. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the beans.
    • Place the beans in a bean pot or oven safe crock. Put all of the ingredients in the pot. Cover beans with clean water. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 4-6 hours. Beans will thicken up and turn deep brown color when done. Test them along the way to see if they are tender.

      The recipe sounds great and i want to try it, but two questions what do you do with the crisp bacon? stir it into the wet beans? and how much water do you put on top of the beans in the bean pot? Please let me know as I really want to make these and not screw up.

        Just add the crisp bacon along with the rest of the ingredients to the pot of beans. You just want to add enough water to cover the beans.

        Alison,
        Stone ground mustard is a prepared mustard. It’s more of a coarse mustard with lots of seeds and tons of flavor. But you could use anything you have on hand for prepared mustard!

        Anne,
        You could do in a crock pot. Just boil the beans first. That’s the most important step, or they’ll never soften.

      Hi Jessica,
      These sound delicious and exactly what I’ve been looking for to go with the tri tip and ribs I’ll be making for a graduation party. Can this be doubled and made the day before then reheated in the oven the day of the party?
      Thanks!

        These are amazing. Yes. they are actually better the second day!
        Just remember to make sure you boil the beans on the stovetop for that 10 minutes. If you don’t- you’ll cook them forever and they’ll never get soft. You’ll have to try making my homemade BBQ sauce for those ribs (recipes in my cookbook)
