ghost’s diary a few weeks ago inspired me to make bean soup, and I bought these heirloom Navy beans from the gourmet market. That used 1/3 of the bag and I didn’t want any more bean soup so I made baked beans. I still intend to try SteelerGrrl’s vegetarian baked beans, which sound awesome, but I went for a traditional Boston-style bean cooked with bacon. They were yummy.

from allrecipes.com — serves 6

Drain and rinse soaked navy beans and place in a saucepan with cold water to cover by about 2 inches; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, approximately 1 to 2 hours (my heirloom beans only needed about 45 minutes). Drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Arrange 1/2 of the beans in the bottom of a 3-quart casserole dish. Place 1/2 of the bacon strips over the beans and sprinkle 1/2 of the onions over top. Repeat layers once more. [I chopped the bacon instead of using whole strips.]

Combine ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dry mustard in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.

Pour sauce over the beans. Pour in just enough reserved cooking liquid to cover the beans. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
