Barbecue-Flavored Baked Beans

A casserole of beans baking in the oven is one of my favorite cold-weather comforts.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup good-quality natural barbecue sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
Two 16-ounce cans navy beans, drained and rinsed, or 4 cups cooked navy beans (from about 1Ā 2/3 cups raw)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F.

    Step 2

    Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the onion and sautƩ over low heat until golden.

    Step 3

    Combine all of the ingredients in a 14-quart casserole dish and mix well. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more, and serve.

  2. navy beans

    Step 4

    Best known for their role in baked beans and soups, navy beans are also known as pea beans, small white beans, or Yankee beans. Whatever you call them, they are much like their larger cousin, the Great Northern bean—creamy and mild but not bland. Navy beans are welcome in grain pilafs or tossed into green salads.
