Backyard Baked Beans Recipes

BACKYARD BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a heavy, medium size saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
• Add the onion, stir well and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is tender, 5 minutes more.
• Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and add the tomato paste, Caramel Syrup, Scotch, and molasses.
• Add the beans and season with the dry mustard, salt and pepper.
• Stir to mix and reduce heat to low.
• Cover the pan and simmer the beans until the sauce is rich and thick and the beans have absorbed plenty of flavor, about 35-40 minutes.

THE BEST BARBECUE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Add dry beans to a bowl, cover with water, and let soak for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Drain beans and transfer to a large pot filled with 3 quarts of cold, fresh water. Add bay leaf, pork shoulder, and onion. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir. Skim off foam if desired. Let simmer until beans are just tender, about 1 hour.
• While beans simmer, combine barbecue sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder in a bowl with a whisk. Set aside until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer tender bean mixture to a deep, 15x10-inch baking dish using a spider strainer. Pour in barbecue sauce mixture and 2 ½ cups of the bean cooking liquid. Place bacon slices on top.
• Bake uncovered in the center of the preheated oven until the liquids have reduced into a thick sauce, 2 to 3 hours.
