Jelly'S Baked Beans From Scratch!

1. 1

   Wash and sort beans, discarding any stones or shriveled beans.

2. 2

   Put beans in a large saucepan, cover with three cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to low and simmer, (adding more water if necessary, up to two cups) until beans are tender from one to one and a half hours.

4. 4

   Drain and reserve water.

5. 5

   Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

6. 6

   Layer beans, sugar, onions, molasses, and barbecued beef. I use leftovers from a previous grilling. Make sure you end with a top layer of beans. I recommend using a bean pot or ovenproof dish if you don't have a bean pot.

7. 7

   Stir in soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt to taste.

8. 8

   Add reserved bean water and up to one cup more water to cover.

9. 9

   Bake uncovered for five to six hours, stirring occasionally. If beans start to get too brown on top, cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
