Big Batch Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Place beans, garlic, oil, salt, and rosemary (if using) in Instant Pot. Cover with 10 cups cold water. Seal lid and cook at high pressure 14 minutes.
• Release pressure manually. If some beans are still slightly undercooked, stir, cover, and use the Keep Warm function until cooked through.
• Do Ahead: Beans can be cooked 5 days ahead. Chill in cooking liquid in airtight containers, or freeze in cooking liquid up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Place beans in a large heavy pot and cover with water by 2". Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat. Let sit 1 hour.
• Uncover and add more water if needed to cover by 2". Stir in onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, oregano, and cumin. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Uncover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, checking after 1 1/2 hours and adding more water if needed to keep beans submerged, until beans are tender and creamy, 1 1/2-2 hours total.
• Serve beans immediately or let cool completely, then transfer beans and cooking liquid to airtight containers.
• Do Ahead: Beans can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the drippings, and drain it on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
