Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Soak dry beans overnight, or use 4 cans cooked beans.

2

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

3

Stir all ingredients together, then pour into casserole dish, bean pot or Dutch oven.

4

Add water from beans, or preferably stock or fresh water. Just enough to barely cover. Canned beans may need less water. Beans will absorb more water as they cook.

5

Bake 2½ hours. Check after an hour for moisture level, add more water as needed to keep appropriate moistness. If beans have too much liquid, remove lid and cook a bit longer.

2½ hours
