BAKED BEANS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Place the navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Or, bring the beans and water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
• Place the beans in a large saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir the ketchup, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and chili powder together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Once the beans have simmered for 1 hour, drain, and reserve the cooking liquid. Pour the beans into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and stir in the chopped onion and the molasses sauce. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking liquid so the sauce covers the beans by 1/4 inch.
• Cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), and cook 6 hours longer. Stir the beans after they have cooked for 3 hours. Once the beans are tender and the sauce has reduced and is sticky, remove from the oven, stir, recover, and allow to stand 15 minutes before serving.

SAVORY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a dutch over cook the bacon, onion and garlic. The bacon does not have to be completely cooked through but should not be limp. Turn off heat. Remove bacon and let it cool enough to handle. Keep the onion and garlic in the pan. Coarsely chopped the bacon and return to pan. Add the beans. Cover with water (one inch above) the beans. Gently simmer, uncovered over medium low heat. Stir occasionally. Keep the beans covered with water. After one hour add the beer, the green chili, the hot sauce, and the salt. Cook for an hour longer and check the beans. They should be soft but not mushy. The beans can cook for another half hour if necessary. Check for taste. Add salt or hot sauce if needed. Remove from heat. The heat from the pot and the beans will keep them warm for a half hour or longer. Reheat if needed. Can be made a day ahead. Leftovers can be mashed in a food processor and transformed into a bean dip.
