Candied Baked Beans

Preheat oven to 300F

Pour beans into a large bowl. Add molasses and brown sugar. Mix well.

Pour beans into a greased 13 x 9″ baking dish. Lay raw bacon strips across top of beans to cover.

Bake at 300F for 2 to 3 hours, or until bacon is dark and beans are tender, rich and thick.

Note: Taste beans after 2 hours. Cooking too long will cause beans to become dry. Mine are usually done in 2-1/2 hours. I also use a good brand of bacon that is a bit more lean.

The salty flavor of the bacon and rich sweetness of the beans is addicting! Family and friends call them “Those beans!” and request them often.
