Boston Baked Beans recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups navy beans

1/2 pound bacon

1 onion, finely diced

3 tablespoons molasses

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

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.
