Old Fashioned Baked Beans With Barbeque Sauce Recipe

Do you like this recipe?

Directions

Soak the beans in cold water over night. Next day drain off, rinse and
simmer in fresh cold water until the skins begin to burst. Slice
2/3 of an onion into the bottom of a lidded bean crock if you have one
otherwise use a covered casserole.
Stuff the crock 1/2 full with simmered, drained beans.
Slice in the rest of the onion and finish filling the crock with beans.
Drizzle the peanut oil over the beans.
Mix salt, dry mustard and molasses in a cup of hot water and pour it
over the beans. Dilute 1/2 jar of barbeque sauce with an equal amount
of water and pour it into the crock until it covers the top beans.
Save the rest to add as the beans cook to keep them moist. Bake at 300
for 6 to 8 hours. As the beans bake, keep adding diluted barbeque
sauce so they stay covered until the last hour. Do not add liquids
during the last hour, but keep the beans covered. Use the left over
beans and their cooking juice as a base for soup.
I like this recipe because I can make it in advance and reheat it for
a special dinner. Even though the cooking time is long, the beans
don't need attention often (once every 45 minutes or so). The crock
looks pretty on a table and can be used to store and reheat the beans
until they are finished.
