The baked beans at the shore lunch was a dish I always looked forward to. Dipping fresh-cut fried potatoes in beans is certainly better than ketchup!
Ingredients
- 1 lb dried navy beans, (2-1/2 cups/625 ml)
- 2/3 cup bottled strained tomatoes
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cooking molasses or blackstrap molasses
- 1 tbsp sodium-reduced soy sauce
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 4 oz slab bacon, diced
- 2 oz salt pork, diced
Preparation
In saucepan, cover beans again with three times their volume of water and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 cups (500 mL) of the liquid.
In small bowl, whisk together tomatoes, brown sugar, molasses, soy sauce, mustard and salt.
In bean pot or 16-cup (4 L) casserole, combine beans, reserved cooking liquid, tomato mixture, onion, bacon and salt pork. Cover and bake in 300°F (150°C) oven for 2 hours.
Uncover and bake until sauce is thickened and coats beans, about 2 hours. (Make- ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
