Recipe Review

4th July 2011

BethNH from , NH

This is the first time I've ever made homemade baked beans.

I doubled the recipe because I'm bringing it to a large gathering. I followed the directions and cooked the onions and garlic on the stove and started the sauce there as well. I then added the sauce to the beans in a crockpot.

I cooked the beans in the crockpot on low for 6 hours before turning it down to warm. All the flavors came together perfectly - they're not too sweet nor do they taste of molasses. They're just right.

This recipe adapts perfectly to the crockpot and I'd recommend cooking them this way during the summer to avoid turning on the oven. They make the house smell wonderful.

EDIT: I have since made these in the crockpot again. This time I did not precook the onions and garlic on the stove - just tossed them raw into the crockpot - and the beans were still just as good.

Beth, I'm so glad your crockpot experiment worked!

I must have used a super dark molasses because the flavour was really prevalent when I made this dish. I must try them again with a lighter molasses.
