When you cook baked beans, you must add a knob of butter.
I make baked beans from dried beans if I'm feeding a crowd.
Soak overnight, boil 1 hour.
I season with 1 large onion minced. 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar. A bit of salt. 2 tablespoons catchup.. Tabasco to taste. Pour into a casserole. Criss cross with bacon. Cover with foil and slow bake 1 hour and 30 minutes.
