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.
Appointments...uck.
:)
I have that oval pan too since my kids were little. I always used it for meatloaf. Those beans look mighty tasty!
Sounds like just the ticket for a cool day!
thank 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.
Good 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 :)
G'luck with the appointments!
Ummy Yummy! I like my roaster pans also. Use them for lots of things. :)
I 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.
Blessings,

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.
Huge Baked Bean fan here. And a bigger fan of baked beans that other people make and share!
The beans look good. Your roasters have held up well.
I 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.
Beans look tasty.
My 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!
Good 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.
I have never made baked beans from scratch. Your look really good.
My 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)
We 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.
Your beans sure look delish! Glad you got a ranger blue ride in.
That 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.
The 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.
