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.

TRADITIONAL NEWFOUNDLAND BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Pre-heat 325° bake for 3:30 to 4:00 hours, covered. 1. In a medium bowl with lid add 2 cups of white pea beans top with cold water then cover, 1/2 tsp sea salt, leave soaking over night. 2. When ready to start making baked beans, you will need a cast iron pot or ceramic pot with cover. ( Also you can cook these beans in your slow cooker ) 3. Start with chopping your onions and add to the bottom of your cast iron pot. 4. Next drain all water off beans then put beans in a medium boiler with cover and top with new cold water and boil for 1 1/2 hours on medium heat with cover part way opened. 5. When boiling have completed drain water into a container and keep for soup or your baking, then add the beans to your cast iron pot. 6. Then add 5 cups of cold water to your pot, in a small bowl mix together the remainder of your ingredients except your pork. 7. Mix together, then pour over onions and beans in pot, mix together then top with fat pork or bacon. 8. Put lid on bake pot then place in a 325° oven for 3:30 to 4:00 hours, check half way through the bake time add more water if needed then cover and continue baking. 9. This is a serving for eight people if you like more double recipe. Bake beans can take a long time to make, I reduced bake time by adding a extra hour on the boiling process. 10. When baked beans are done remove from heat, serve hot or cold. If you would like to bottle them just follow the canning process. Always label and date your bottles before storing them.

DOWN HOME BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the barbecue sauce with the dry mustard, onion, bacon bits, beans, and kale. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the beans for 10 minutes, or until the kale is tender, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly and the beans should be very tender. Season the beans with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
• Eat more kale! It has one of the highest levels of antioxidants of any vegetable and is loaded with anti-cancer phytochemicals, calcium, B vitamins, and fiber. It's easier to prepare than you might think. (Just be sure to wash it well first and to remove the fibrous center rib.) Try it raw-shredded in salads-or cooked. I like it roughly chopped and sautéed with garlic and a little olive oil, or braised in chicken broth, or even roasted: toss it with a little olive oil or toasted sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in a single layer in a shallow baking pan at 500 degrees until the edges are starting to brown and turn crispy and the centers are slightly wilted.
