A few weeks ago I made baked beans from scratch. They were my variation of a couple of recipes. I thought they were good, but I might try eliminating the last step where they are baked without the foil. Two of the kids like a runnier baked bean.
Here is the recipe.

These baked beans are made from scratch and are really quite simple to make.

- 1 Tbsp. Vinegar (for soaking beans)
- 1/2 Tbsp. Salt
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Molasses
- 1 Tbsp. Mustard
- 2 Cups Tomato Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Minced Onion
- 2 Strips of Raw Bacon (Chopped)
- 1 Cup Liquid from Cooking Beans
Instructions
- Rinse beans.
- Place beans in a pan and cover with water and 1 Tbsp. vinegar.
- Soak beans 12-24 hours.
- Drain beans.
- Place beans in a crock pot and cover with water.
- Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.
- Drain beans but reserve liquid.
- Combine beans with salt, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, tomato sauce, onion, bacon and reserved liquid.
- Place in a 9×13 casserole dish and cover with foil.

Notes
Optionally, the baked beans can be placed back in the crock pot they originally cooked in instead of baking them in an oven.
