Baked Beans Or Sousbone Food

THE BEST BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and toast, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes.
• Add the beans and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. (If the beans are still slightly firm, continue cooking, stirring every 45 minutes and adding more water if necessary to just cover.)
• Once the beans are tender, uncover and increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until the beans are thick and browned, about 1 more hour. (Again, if the beans need more time, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.) Remove from the oven and thin with water if necessary.

BAKED BEANS OR "SOUSBONE"

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in about 4 cups of water.
• Cook the beans till just soft. (This does take some time)Keep the beans just covered with liquid all the time.
• You can rinse the beans once during cooking. I don't normally because I rinse in boiling water before I put them on to cook.
• Mix the cornstarch with the vinegar and add to the beans together with sugar.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook a few minutes more to thicken the gravy.
• They may be eaten hot or cold.
