Classic Boston Baked Beans Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups dry navy beans, soaked overnight
• 0.5 pound uncooked bacon strips
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

1. Transfer soaked navy beans and soaking water to a saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 1 to 2 hours, until the beans are nearly tender. Drain, but reserve the cooking liquid.
3. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4. In a 2-quart casserole dish, layer half of the beans, followed by half of the bacon strips and half of the onions. Repeat the layers once more.
5. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dry mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Pour the sauce evenly over the beans in the casserole dish. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to just cover the beans. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, checking periodically and adding more cooking liquid as needed to prevent drying. Cook until the beans are soft and tender.
8. Serve your Boston baked beans hot and enjoy!
