Name: Maple Syrup Baked Beans
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 4 h
Total time: 4 h 15 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: dried white or Navy beans; maple-smoked bacon; onions; garlic clove; vegetable oil; maple syrup; Dijon mustard; dry mustard; salt and pepper

Preparation

In a large bowl, place the beans. Cover with plenty of cold water and soak overnight at room temperature. Add water as needed so that the beans are always covered.
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F).
In a large saucepan or oven-safe Dutch oven, brown the bacon for 2 minutes. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the drained beans and remaining ingredients. Add enough cold water to cover 5-cm (2-inch) above the beans. Bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat, place in the oven and bake for about 4 hours, until the beans are tender. Add water, if necessary, during cooking.

How long do you boil you beans prior to putting them in the dutch oven dish? I personally boil the bean for 10 minutes and add a 1/4tsp of baking soda for the last 2 minutes. I am asking just because you are not mentioning a pre-boil to the beans.

Hello, Once the beans have started boiling, place the dish in the oven for the reminder of the cooking time. You want to have a hot dish going into the oven. Thanks for your question!

I want to double this recipe, do I have to double the cooking time? Thanks

The only extra time you will need is for your beans to boil. The total cooking time should not vary. Keep in mind that you will need a larger pot to cook it in.

Can I cook in the slow cooker and if so, for how long and at what setting?

We didn't test this recipe in a slow cooker. However, you can take a look at our «Slow Cooker Baked Beans with Maple Syrup» recipe.
