Famous Bacon Baked Beans

Recipe Ingredients:

  • 450 g dried navy beans
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1.5 cups diced sweet onion
  • 1/2 lbs One Mile Ranch Bacon diced

SAUCE:

  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup fancy molasses
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup original Diana sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1.5 cups boiling water

Directions:

  1. soak beans in a large bowl overnight, covering with about 2 inches of water.
  2. In the morning, drain soaked beans and place them in a large pot. cover with several inches of water and bring just to a boil then immediately reduce heat to somewhere between medium and medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 50-60 min until beans are tender (not mushy.
  3. Drain beans and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Heat cooking oil and fry up the bacon and onion until just golden (about 5 min) in a Cuisinart cooking dish. When finished add cooked beans and mix well.
  5. In a mixing bowl, add all the sauce ingredients (other than boiling water)and mix well. Then add the boiling water to the mixture.
  6. Pour over the beans (if needed add more boiling water to just barely cover the beans) and gently mix.
  7. Put a lid on the dish and either cook in the oven at 300°F for 3 hours or on the stovetop on a simmer. Both methods need to be mixed every once in a while and add more water at any point to keep beans just barely covered.
  8. When finished, let sit for 10 min before serving.

 ENJOY!
