How To Make classic baked beans
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325'F.
-
Step 2Fry bacon in large, deep sauté pan until bacon has partially cooked and released about 3-4 tablespoons of drippings. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.
-
Step 3Add onions and pepper to drippings in pan and sauté until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
-
Step 4Add beans and remaining ingredients, except bacon; bring to a simmer. Pour into a greased 3 quart baking dish. Top with bacon.
-
Step 5Bake, uncovered, until beans are bubbly and sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

Step 6*SLOW COOKER TIP: If it's too hot to turn your oven on (like today), you can make these in the slow cooker! Just pour the mixture into your crockpot (I always line mine with the Slow Cooker Liners for easy clean up.) Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 5 hours (or high heat setting 2 1/2 to 3 hours) or until desired consistency.
