Baked Beans
Ingredients:
- 3 cups white beans
- ¼ lb. salt pork or bacon
- 1 medium onion
- 1/3 tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. dry mustard
- Water
- 1/3 cup Fancy Molasses
- 2 tsp. salt
Directions:
- Pick beans over and soak overnight. Drain, then add chopped pork, onion, Fancy Molasses, salt, pepper and mustard. Cover with water and bake in a covered bean pot for about 6 hours at 300°F. Add water if beans are dry. Serve hot. For best results on this recipe, use Fancy Molasses. “Lite” molasses is not recommended.
I made the Molasses baked beans recipe in the Simple Fare book. It was my first time making baked beans. I used soldier beans as they were what my Mom used.
They were tasty but not as soft as I would think they should have been. Did they need to boil longer than the 30 minutes indicated in the recipe?
Also, is there anywhere I can find the nutritional information for your recipes?
Thanks
Diane, I am happy that you made baked beans, and that it was your first time. I do usually boil mine for an hour, just to ensure a better texture. We do not have the nutritional breakdown of this recipe, but there are many free websites that let you add a recipe’s ingredients and it will give you the information you may want. My Fitness Pal is a good example.
