Ingredients

1 pound dried navy beans
1 salt pork
2 bay leaves
1 cup ketchup
1/2cup molasses
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 ounces sliced bacon

Directions

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 F oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook the bacon.

why beans did not get soft
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The reason the beans did not get soft was probably an editing error. 2 directions are reversed. after cover beans with... fresh water and place over medium heat it should say simmer stirring occasionally , for about 25 mins etc. then add the remaining ingredients.Beans will never cook tender if you add salt or acid before they are soft. I also added a carrot, celery, 1/2 onion and bay leaf while they were cooking and removed before adding other ingredients. I also cooked bacon in microwave and added it to beans chopped. eliminating the baking period. Guess they would be called BBQ beans then. With these minor changes it is a great recipe!Read more

Glad I'm Not The Only One!!!!!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I should have read the reviews before offering to make this recipe for a neighborhood get-together. My beans were still hard... like rocks after following the recipe, baking them WAY LONGER than called for!! I ended up nuking them and they still were tough. I will NEVER used dried beans again for anyone's baked bean dish. I don't know if the beans were just old, whether or not one of the other ingredients toughened them up to the point where they were beyond saving. Nonetheless, I was over here and everyone else was over there eating pulled pork etc. I see Tyler's Ultimate BB recipe calls for canned cannelini beans yet this recipe was from his Food 911 show, too time consuming and poor end result for me, lesson learned. Sorry Tyler!Read more

not good, not good at all
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This baked bean recipe is just too heavy, too rich, too salty. My family didn't like it at all.
