How do you cook baked bean?

Answer 1

There usually are directions on the side of the can, but if not: Put a pan on the range/stove/fire and have the heat on low - pour the beans from the can into the pan - Cook them for about 3 minutes at maximum.

In Addition:

There are a wide variety of recipes for baked beans. Generally you fry some bacon in a pan until it is about half cooked, then remove the bacon and add some chopped onion and chopped green peppers (and whatever other vegetables you might like such as jalapeno peppers) to the bacon grease in the pan. Cook until tender.

Mix up your favorite recipe for barbecue sauce or use bottled barbecue sauce. You can also add things to the bottled sauce, such as brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard.

Add beans to the onions and green peppers. You can use navy beans that have been soaked overnight or canned beans such as pork and beans or canned baked beans. Stir it all together, then add your barbecue sauce mixture. Bring it to a simmer, then pour into a large casserole or baking dish.

Top the mixture with the partially cooked bacon, put in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for about 2 hours.

Boston Baked Beans

Sort and soak one pound of beans overnight. Drain and rinse the beans. In an oven proof covered pot, cut up into half inch cubes 1/2 pound of salt pork. chop one onion and add that to the pot, add the beans to the pot, add enough water to cover the beans plus 1 inch. add 2 tablespoons dry mustard and one cup molasses. DO NOT add salt, this will make the beans tough. Cover the pot. Put the pot of beans in the oven and bake at 350F (190C) for 6 to 8 hours until they are soft. Stir the beans once every hour, to keep them mixed and to check their doneness. Add a little water if needed to just keep the beans covered. Baked beans are traditionally baked in a clay pot made just for baking beans, and eaten with brown bread.
