How to Make Baked Beans For Saturday's Supper

  1. Rinse 1 pound of dried navy beans and cover with 8 cups of water. Soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Drain the soaked beans.
  3. In a large bean pot, Dutch oven, or pressure cooker, combine the drained beans with:
  4. 1 large onion, chopped
  5. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 cup brown sugar
  7. 1/2 cup molasses
  8. 1/4 cup ketchup
  9. 2 tablespoons mustard
  10. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  11. 1 teaspoon salt
  12. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  13. 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  14. 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
  15. 6 cups of warm water (or enough to cover the beans)
  16. **Oven Method:**
  17. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  18. Bring the bean mixture to a boil on the stovetop, then transfer to a covered oven-safe pot.
  19. Bake, covered, for 5 hours, then uncover and bake for another 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally and add more boiling water if needed to prevent sticking.
  20. **Pressure Cooker Method:**
  21. Add all ingredients to your pressure cooker. Make sure the liquid level is under the maximum fill line.
  22. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for at least 15 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
  23. Transfer beans to a baking dish and bake uncovered at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, to brown slightly.
