Dino’s Baked Beans

January 22, 2009

One of my hubby’s favourite foods is baked beans. Here is his recipe:

  • 1 lb. dried small white beans, sorted and rinsed (approx 2 1/4 cups)
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup molasses (use blackstrap molasses for extra iron)
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped or minced
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 dashes hickory smoke

Combine all ingredients in a slow-cooker. Cover and cook on low for 13-14 hours, stirring occasionally if possible. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note: We haven’t tried yet, but I bet the beans would taste just as good if you replaced the sugar with maple syrup or honey.
