Old Fashioned Boston Baked Beans image

This recipe came by here from Anne Lindsay's Lighthearted Everyday Cooking. I have been using this recipe since 1991 and believe....if it ain't broke, don't fix it. For us...this is THE recipe. Enjoy! I have tweaked this ever so slightly...only because we like tomatoey beans. Cooking time does not include overnight soaking.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb white pea beans
2 medium onions, sliced
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup, to be added near the end of cooking
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed

4 cups hot water
2 slices bacon, chopped (I used thick slices of bacon, chopped)

Steps:

  • Rinse beans; discard any discoloured ones. In large saucepan, soak beans overnight; drain. Add water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes; drain.
  • In bean pot or 8 cup casserole, spread onion slices.
  • Add drained beans.
  • Combine molasses, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, pepper and hot water.
  • Pour over beans and top with chopped bacon.
  • Cover and bake in 250 degree oven for 6 hours; uncover and add about 1/2 cup ketchup -- and stir. Add more water if you need to. Bake uncovered for another hour.
