Baked Beans recipe needed - esgunn - 05-06-2008
Hi all. I am incharge of bringing baked beans on Mothers day - and a fruit salad. I don't like baked beans, so I have never made them. Does anyone have a good recipe? Not spicy but lots of flavor? I can cook them in the crock or bake them, but was hoping to reheat/keep warm in a crockpot for serving - will this work?

I wish I had a recipe to share, but I've never made baked beans. Hopefully a good one will be posted we can both use

I like them, but not enough to make them for myself. The times that I've made them for someone else who requested them, I've just started with canned, Bush's or Grandma Brown's baked beans, then doctored them up with some bacon, brown sugar, and K.C. Masterpiece BBQ sauce, and people always love them. Don't ask me for measurements or proportions, though: I just eyeball it.

Here's one I've made and really liked. From Gourmet Special Edition, Montreal.
Serves 8 as a side dish.
These beans boast two staples of Montreal cuisine, sweet maple syrup and rich salt pork.
Pick over and rinse 1 lb dried navy beans (2 1/4 cups). Soak in cold water to cover by 2 inches at least 8 hours. Drain. Put oven rack in middle in middle position and preheat to 350F. Rinse and pat dry 1 ( 1/4 lb) salt pork ( rind discarded ), then cut into 3 pieces.
Put beans and pork in an ovenproof 3 quart heavy pot with a lid. Add 4 1/2 cups water, 1 large onion finely chopped ( about 2 cups ), 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1/2 cup grade b Maple Syrup, 1 Tbsp dry English Mustard ( preferably Colman's), snd 1 Tsp freshly ground black pepper, and stir to combine. Cover pot and bake until beans are just tender, 3 to 4 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 325, Remove lid. Bake beans, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, but beans are still saucy, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more. Remove from oven, and stir in 1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar, and 1 tsp salt, or more to taste.

Erin, here's a family favorite, super easy and very tasty - not an authenic baked bean like Lorraine's (which sounds very good!), but great all the same.

I agree with Labs on baked beans. Start with a good quality brand and doctor them up.

Erin, here's one that I like and it does seem to go over well with everyone.
Hearty Bean and Ground Beef Casserole
Serves 10 – 12
½ pound bacon fried crisp
1 cup chopped onion
1 pound ground beef
¾ cup ketchup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 tsp vinegar
few dashes garlic powder
1 15 ounce can white northern beans
1 15 ounce can black beans
1 15 ounce Bush’s Original baked beans
Cut bacon into small pieces and fry until brown. Remove fat and sauté ground beef and chopped onions. Add remaining ingredients except beans. Drain black and white beans. Mix beans and Bush’s beans with other ingredients in large casserole. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Improves with age and can be baked ahead and reheated.

I hang with Labs and HC. I use Bush's Baked Beans and doctor to taste. Usually with a little catsup, brown sugar, mustard, maple syrup or unsulfered molasses and crisp, chopped, bacon.

Am I the only one who makes them from scratch?
Re: Baked Beans recipe needed - DFen911 - 05-07-2008
Yep
I buy remade and add things to them
