Yummy, Homemade, Healthy Baked Beans
I just found this recipe over at Passionate Homemaking -- I would say just about every recipe of Lindsey's I have tried has been very flavorful and pretty simple. I love that I can taste the different flavors in the beans rather than just one homogeneous taste...while still tasting like simple baked beans from camp and summer picnics.
You can use canned beans or dry beans, soaked, your preference. The recipe calls for advance preparation but there is barely any prep -- mostly just time for soaking or low temp. cooking.
If using dry beans, cover with water and soak 12-18 hours with 2 T acid medium (with beans I prefer to use lemon juice). Rinse well and cook on low in crock pot until beans are soft, usually 5-6 hours. Rinse again and drain.
Ingredients:
4 cups navy beans (3-4 cans, drained, or 1 1/2 cups dry)
1/2 onion either pureed or chopped and then sauteed
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t dry mustard
1/3-1/2 c ketchup
1/3 c maple syrup or a combo of brown sugar and succanat
1/2 t sea salt
Saute onions til nice and soft in either organic butter, ghee, or coconut oil. Mix with beans a bowl. Whisk other ingredients together in a small bowl and add to beans. Cover and marinate 5 hours - overnight. Heat before serving.
