Best Baked Beans For Saturdays Supper Recipes
HEARTY BEANS WITH BEEF
My husband raved about this sweet bean dish after tasting it at a party, so I knew I had to get the recipe. It's perfect for get-togethers because you can mix it up a day early and toss it in the slow cooker a few hours before your guests arrive. -Jan Biehl, Leesburg, Indiana

BOSTON BAKED BEANS
This signature dish of Boston, Massachusetts dates from the 17th century, when the Puritan sabbath - a day on which work was forbidden - was observed from sundown on Saturday until Sunday evening. The baked beans would be started on Saturday morning and then left to cook slowly until dinnertime so that the Puritan housewife did not have to break the sabbath to cook a meal. Leftover beans would then be served for Sunday breakfast or lunch. Boston baked beans were often baked in communal ovens by the local baker, who would collect bean pots from the townspeople on Saturday morning and return the pots of baked beans in time for dinner that night. One of my most treasured possessions is my grandmother's bean pot.

- Drain the beans and place them in a large saucepan with 8 cups of water. Bring the beans to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the whole onion, reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until beans are half tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the beans and discard the onion.

BAKED BEANS
Baked beans in Maine is an every Saturday night tradition. We have them along with potato salad or cole slaw, and hotdogs of some kind. We always have cornbread or biscuits, too. It is the best supper of the week for us. I have had this every week since I was a little girl--many, many years. I love them as much today as I did when I was little. This recipe uses four kinds of beans, but it can be made with just one kind if you choose and will be as good as if you used four. Until last year, I always did the proper thing and baked them in my brown bean pot in the oven (I have five pots--all sizes). This past year I tried the crockpot and it worked fine. I always make a double batch. You can freeze them. My husband likes beans and toast for breakfast on Sunday morning. It's all tradition, I guess. NOTE: If you are a vegetarian--omit the salt port and put a big chunk of butter in the pot.

MARITIME BAKED BEANS
This is a combination of a couple of baked bean recipes including touches from my mother and grandmother. We live in New Brunswick, Canada, and beans are always a favourite for Saturday supper along with Brown Bread. In this recipe you can use salt pork, bacon, or if I don't have either, I use a tablespoon of shortening.

ALL-AMERICAN BAKED BEANS
Based on a recipe from The New Basics Cookbook, authors of The Silver Palate Cookbook. The intro says, "One of those American classics, first created in the Puritan era in Boston. No cooking was allowed on the Sabbath, so they served beans Saturday night for dinner, for Sunday breakfast with codfish cakes and Boston Brown Bread, and again for Sunday lunch." Note: the 4 hour cooking time includes a one hour simmer and a 2 1/2 hour baking during which time occasional stirring is required; it does not include the overnight bean soaking time.

NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT BAKED BEANS
My father always made the baked beans in our house. He never wrote the recipe down so this is how I've adapted it to make in a crockpot. We used to have them with Hot dogs and brown bread on Saturday nights in the winter, If there was any left overs we would have them for breakfast Sunday morning with our eggs. Sometimes I have skipped the soaking overnight and just boiled the beans a little longer to make sure they soften. I discovered by adding the baking soda and vinegar, it had helped lessen the need for "Beano"...

Steps:
- Pick over beans making sure there's no rocks or bad beans in the bag. Soak them overnight in just enough cold water to cover them. Drain water and fill pot with clean water to about an inch above beans. Bring to boil, simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and pour beans into a crockpot. Put in the onion and salt pork. Put in the other ingredients, finish by pouring in enough water to just cover the beans. Stir and let cook slow at least 5 hours, until beans are tender. Add water if needed. If the water hasn't cooked down you can take the lid off to allow thickening.
- I love to put on a pot of these on a Saturday morning and smell them cooking all day.
