Old Fashioned Molasses and Bacon Baked Beans. This easy recipe has all the flavour of grandma’s baked beans. Once they are in the oven, all you need is plenty of patience to let these slow cook to perfection.
Old Fashioned Molasses and Bacon Baked Beans.
Baked beans is another family favourite in our household and we have several go-to recipes depending on what else is on the menu.
Search baked beans on this website and you’ll see several recipes from spicy Maple Chipotle to Baked Beans with Apple Sausage.
White Beans.
Today’s recipe is the one we use most often though and is pretty close to how I first made them over 30 years ago. The only real difference is that I like to use smoked paprika for added smokey flavour to the beans these days. But you can easily substitute regular paprika if you can’t find smoked.
Fancy molasses is best for this recipe.
Be careful to use fancy molasses or light molasses in this recipe, other types like blackstrap or cooking molasses can be too strongly flavoured.
This batch is also quite big and would serve a dozen people or more. However, we always make this large a batch to freeze them in 16 -20 ounce plastic containers.
Then for weeks later we can enjoy them for lunch or with a great brunch. If you don’t want to make that much, the recipe is easily halved.
Apple Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches with homemade baked beans.
We love these beans served with our favourite Apple Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches. The pulled pork and the beans are slow cooked for a similar amount of time. So, we often have both in the oven at the same time and are guaranteed leftovers for a couple of days, so it’s a great weekend cooking project.
