I soak the Great Northern and the Pinto beans in water overnight. The next day I cook them up until they are a bit soft but not mushy. They take an hour plus to cook. I rinse them and put them in my roasters. I add some fried bacon and a slurry of dark molasses, brown sugar, mustard, catsup, salt and pepper. I may have known what the measurements were a long time ago. I used one bottle of molasses, maybe about 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup mustard and a cup of catsup....give or take. Then I put them in the oven to bake awhile. I let them cool before putting into ziplock quart bags to freeze.
Easy Peasy...other than I boiled them over and had to clean the stove:)
I use my roasting pans all the time. I have had them for a really long time!
There you have it...those are the beans.
We had a quiet day on Sunday aside from the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen. We went for a Ranger Blue ride to recycle.
This week we have a number of appointments.

We had a quiet Sunday also. No baked beans though.
ReplyDeleteAppointments...uck.
:)
I have that oval pan too since my kids were little. I always used it for meatloaf. Those beans look mighty tasty!
ReplyDeleteSounds like just the ticket for a cool day!

ReplyDeletethank you sharing your recipe. Can not wait to try. Have a great day.
I remember my mom making baked beans when I was a kid; I can recall her soaking them overnight and I remember the bean pot she baked them in. They were a fall dish as I recall and we only had them once or twice a year. I like your idea of freezing them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this week's appointments.
Not a huge fan of baked beans, but Brad loves them. He recently tried making homemade bean for the first time. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I shared it with my hubby, incase it gives him ideas to tweak his recipe :)
ReplyDeleteG'luck with the appointments!
Ummy Yummy! I like my roaster pans also. Use them for lots of things. :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same roaster. I inherited my Mom's chicken and turkey roasters. I never think to use them except for the stated reasons. I really need to broaden my imagination.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I have an old blue roasting pan just like that. I use it for pot roast, and sometimes other things. It's dented in a couple places but still works great.
ReplyDeleteHuge Baked Bean fan here. And a bigger fan of baked beans that other people make and share!
ReplyDeleteThe beans look good. Your roasters have held up well.
ReplyDeleteI made beans once a week when I was in the arctic. This was breakfast for the kids. We had an oil stove and put them in the oven all night. I still like baked beans.
ReplyDeleteBeans look tasty.
ReplyDeleteMy old blue roaster finally got donated, but I got a ton of use out of it over the years. Been ages since I made the homemade baked beans. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the appointments.
There is nothing like old cookware. I have two cake pans that were my mother"s: still going strong after at least 60 years. We eat baked beans so rarely we just buy from the can but we used to make them a long time ago, in small batches.
ReplyDeleteI have never made baked beans from scratch. Your look really good.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday was busy prepping for today. Now it is late Monday afternoon and the guests are gone. I forgot to take any pictures. :-( We have cleaned up the kitchen, are taking a brief bit of down time and will soon eat a light supper of leftovers, then finish packing up and head for Whidbey Island. I need to do nothing for a few days, even let my PT slide a little.
I'll post something soon.
Dark & delicious. We like them heavy on the molasses ( which I assume yours are since you used an entire bottle)
ReplyDeleteWe didn't leave the house due to smoke yesterday. I found some beans in the larder and had them for lunch today. What a treat.
ReplyDeleteYour beans sure look delish! Glad you got a ranger blue ride in.
ReplyDeleteThat is real baked beans. I have a bean pot that would work great to serve them. I guess they use to bake the beans in them. Your ingredients makes the final product sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe beans look delicious! I kept a round enamel roaster, but donated my oval ones when I moved. I use the round one for making rice pudding.
