Baked Beans

Description

These are the best baked we ever had. The recipe is by my friend’s mom, Ella Hollett.

Servings: 8-10 Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 3 hours

METHOD: Cover beans with water and soak overnight. Rinse them and drain the water.

Cover the beans with water again and boil them until soft (1 hour) . Do not drain. Place the beans in the preheated roaster/oven. Add remaining ingredients and cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F until beans are tender and brown, approximately for 2 hours. Remove the lid halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to avoid beans from getting too dry.
