This is a favorite recipe of mine for home made baked beans. These are the real thing, made from scratch. They are surprisingly easy. It just takes a little pre-planning. I like to get them in the crockpot the night before. They can cook all night and day and be ready for an afternoon picnic.
Ingredients
- 3 cups dry navy beans (or your favorite combination of beans)
- 9 cups water
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons dark molasses
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Dash of liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Dash crushed red peppers
Directions
Bring the 9 cups of water and the beans to a boil, simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and put in crockpot with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 20 hours. Time will vary with each individual crockpot.
