Baked beans are the perfect addition to any outdoor cookout or barbecue. These baked beans are slow-cooked in the oven with bacon, onions, and a sweet, syrupy sauce, resulting in an old-fashioned taste that everyone will enjoy. This easy recipe has been served by my family for over 29 years and originally came from my mother-in-law. It tastes great served with fresh cornbread or biscuits and honey.

Ingredients

  • dry navy beans, soaked overnight: 2 cups
  • uncooked bacon strips: 0.5 pound
  • medium onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • ketchup: 0.5 cup
  • molasses: 3 Tbsp
  • brown sugar: 0.25 cup
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 Tbsp
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • dry mustard: 0.25 tsp

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook, checking every 1/2 hour or so and adding more cooking liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry, until beans are soft and tender, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 more hours.
