How to Make Horn Hardart S Baked Beans
- Drain one (15-ounce) can of baked beans and place them in a large saucepan.
- Add 2 cups of fresh water to cover the beans.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until beans are almost tender, about 45-60 minutes.
- Drain the beans.
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large baking pot or casserole dish, combine the drained beans with 1 medium onion (chopped), 4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 tablespoons molasses, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup tomato juice, and 1 cup of water.
- Stir well to combine.
- Bake uncovered, stirring occasionally, for approximately 120 minutes (2 hours), adding more water (1/4 cup at a time) if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Season with salt to taste during the last 30 minutes of baking.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
