Better Than Bush’s Baked Beans

Storage and Make-Ahead

These keep in sealed jars for up to a year in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, use within a week and keep them in the fridge.

You can also freeze the finished beans in containers for up to 3 months if you don’t want to bother with canning.

Can I Make Changes?

Different beans?

Navy beans really are best, but Great Northern beans work in a pinch. Just watch the cooking time.

No bacon?

You can use diced ham or skip the meat entirely. Just use a little oil to cook the onions.

Less sweet?

Cut back on the brown sugar, but keep the molasses. It brings more than just sweetness.

Want more heat?

Add a pinch of cayenne or some hot sauce with the other seasonings.
