The Best Baked Beans

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Dried navy beans
1		Salt pork
2		Bay leaves
1 cup	237ml	Ketchup
1/2 cup	118ml	Molasses
2 tablespoons	30ml	Dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dry mustard
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chili powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Onion powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Garlic powder
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
6 oz	170g	Sliced bacon

Recipe Instructions

Pick through the beans and remove any pebbles. Place beans in a colander and rinse under cold water. Transfer the beans to a large pot or bowl, add water to cover by 2-inches and let soak overnight. The beans will rehydrate and swell to twice their size.

Drain and rinse the beans, then put in a saucepan. Cover the beans with fresh water and place over medium heat. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the bacon. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until the beans are tender but not breaking apart.

Transfer the beans and broth to a 2-quart oven-safe dish. Lay bacon slices in a single layer on top of the beans. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook the bacon.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
