Tips and Tricks
Onions
Chop the onions finely to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients. This will also help release their natural sweetness.
Jalapeno
Remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno if you prefer a milder dish. For extra heat, leave some seeds in.
Beans
Rinse and drain the beans thoroughly. This helps remove excess sodium and gives the dish a fresher taste.
Ketchup
Use a no-sugar-added ketchup if you prefer a healthier option. It reduces the overall sugar content without compromising flavor.
Molasses
Use blackstrap molasses for a richer, more robust flavor. It adds a deep, sweet, and slightly smoky taste to the dish.
Mustard
Ensure you’re using yellow mustard as it provides the right tanginess and color to the dish.
Liquid Smoke
Adjust the liquid smoke to your taste. Start with the recommended amount and add more if you prefer a stronger smoky flavor.
Mixing
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors. This helps every bite to be flavorful.
Baking
Check the beans after 45 minutes of baking. If they seem too dry, you can cover the dish with foil for the remaining baking time to retain moisture.
Serving
Serve the baked beans warm. They pair well with grilled meats, barbecues, or as a side dish for any meal.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to retain moisture.
