Home Canned Baked Beans (Better Than Bush's)

Canning your own beans is fun and rewarding. With nothing artificial these delicious beans are a shelf staple. This recipe will make about 8 quarts or 16 pints.
3-4lbs of Navy or Great Northern Beans (use 3 if you want your beans to have more sauce). Sort, rinse and drain. Cover with fresh water,, bring to a boil, turn of heat and soak for 1 hour. Drain again, add fresh water and bring to a boil.
For the sauce:
2 quarts of tomato juice
1 quart of tomato sauce
1 c of chopped fresh onion
2 c of brown sugar
1/2 c of molasses
2 T Cider vinegar
1-2 T liquid smoke
2 t dry mustard
1 t allspice
1 t salt
2 t black pepper
Bring to a simmer
Fill your jars ~2/3 - 3/4 full (less 1" headspace) with prepared beans. Add sauce to 1" headspace. Debubble, wipe rims, add lids and bands. Process in pressure canner for 90 minutes for quarts, 75 minutes for pints.

You are so adorable. In my 70 years I have waterbath canned a few Ball Blue books!! It wasn't until things started going sideways that I started pressure canning 2 years ago. So I will be canning these, but in a mix of beans..because I'm a calico gal. Can't wait!! My hubs was Italian. We loved canning tomatoes for sauces. I was widowed in my 50's. But now my grands love to watch what is happening in the kitchen. My heart smiles seeing so many young people appreciating this art. I hope I can inspire them.

[@rosedolch8637]

you just inspired me to use 3 different types of beans in these baked beans.. Why not use what we have and be different? right? : )

[@franceshaley9149]

This the first time I have commented on any You Tube video, but yesterday, my husband and I canned up our second batch of your Better than Bush's baked beans. I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you sharing that recipe with us. You are right. They are better than Bush's or anyone else that we have tried. Your Bourbon Chicken is next on our list to can. We both love Bourbon Chicken and look forward to trying your recipe. We have watched a number of your videos and appreciate the safety first attitude you display. Please continue with your recipes. Looking forward especially the new fermenting and dehydrator recipes you plan to share with us. Great job!

[@marycoon8521]

Tip: Don't lose the last of the molasses in your bottle and/or measuring cup. Add some of your tomato juice to them and shake the bottle or stir the measuring cup and add to your recipe. Works with whatever liquid you are using in any molasses recipe. It also works for "ALL" syrups, honey, etc. If you are a "hillbilly kid" like I am... then you might have had a mom who added about a 1/4 cup of warm water to the molasses bottle and shook it. She then drank a sip of it every day. She said it was the best way on a homestead/farm to get the iron that your body needed every day. If you aren't cooking with molasses on a regular basis but want to keep some "sips" of molasses for iron in your frig then simply mix 1 Tablespoon or more to 1 cup of warm water. Make large batches and water bath can if you wish... process for 30 minutes at the boil point in the canner.

[@hometowncookingwithmariann1126]

Good tip. Ty

[@rickross199]

haha yep. Works with the last of the flour/water gravy thickener, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, A1 etc etc etc

[@jeje1020]

My Grandfather had a mason jar in the cupboard that contained a molasses and cider vinegar mixture. He took a swig of it every day.

[@gratefulMOMent]

Yup! My son’s grandmother would milk their cow and make “tigers milk” for him. A spoon dipped in molasses and swirled around in milk is better than a milkshake!

[@estellaeggleston1643]

So do you sip all day on the 1 cup warm water to 1 Tablespoon molasses? I have very low iron and I want to give this a try

[@auntmayme8119]

Very thorough instructions! After paying over $1.50 per 15 oz can of beans, I’ve had it. I’m now going to can my own. Thank you!

BUSH BEANS ABSOLUTELY SUCK. YOU CAN BUY VAN CAMP'S PORK AND BEANS AT SAVE-A-LOT FOR ABOUT 75 CENTS. I USE TWO CANS OF VAN CAMP'S P&B, ONE LARGE ONION FINE CHOPPED WITH ABOUT A HALF CUP OF BROWN SUGAR AND SIMMER FOR A WHILE. I DON'T LIKE RUNNY BAKED BEANS, SO AFTER OPENING THE CANS I ALWAYS DUMP THE MAJORITY OF THE CLEAR LIQUID INTO THE SINK AND RINSE IT DOWN THE DRAIN. SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO ADD CHOPPED SWEET PEPPERS TO THE MIX, WHICH I DON'T CARE FOR MYSELF. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY WHO HAVE TRIED THESE BAKED BEANS SAY THESE ARE THE BEST THEY HAVE EVER HAD. I THINK SO TOO. YOU CAN ADD MORE BROWN SUGAR OR OTHER SEASONINGS TO TASTE. HOWEVER I FIND IT ISN'T NECESSARY TO ADD ANY OTHER SEASONINGS, AS THIS RECIPE IS ABSOLUTELY KILLER THE WAY IT IS! NEVER EVER ADD CATSUP TO THE BEANS, THIS IS A FELONY CRIME. JUST TRY THIS RECIPE AND YOU WILL LOVE IT!

[@msdc011]

This was s great video. I made this and it wad great. I am used to eating Van Kamps pork and beans, and these were so much better AND because the beans only cost $1.00, and the fact that I got 8 jars brought that cost pet jar to be around .15 cents.. I already had all the other ingredients the house including jars. that's my new math lol. I love it....Thanks Carol!!!

[@marytodd4849]

I made these today. The sauce tasted really good. Can't wait to really try them. I've seen people say to not open and use for at least a week. What do you think?

[@user-xq7xn1kb3p]

Carol, been canning for almost 50 years, but never thought of making baked beans. Excited to try. There is one thing I would like to bring to your attention, and that is the use of metal tools inside your jars..ie..lifting them out with metal tongs and your suggestion of using butter knife to release bubbles. It has been proven through a court case in FL that metal utensils can weaken or jeopardize the integrity of glass processed under pressure. In court case, jars that were processed with metal tools touching the inside of the jar actually exploded when removed from canner, even after cooling. Just thought you might want to investigate, esp since most of your followers are probably inexperienced canners. There is a reason the commercial bubble remover tool is plastic. Hope this info will help in making sure the information you're passing along will insure people have accurate info when canning. Sincerely, Totsie Martin, Coalville, Utah 1/2023

I Just found your channel today while searching for ways to can my Louisiana red beans without a pressure cooker. I had to laugh out loud how your puppy attempted to steal the show and you kept a perfectly calm face and kept your cool the whole time... It was great!! I am just now learning how to can stuff, started with Chokecherry Jam last month, which turned into syrup.... Well after watching several of your videos, I realized that that is not possible and now I know why. AND, I just found your video canning pretty much the same recipe I cooked today. I don't have a pressure cooker and, truthfully, am kind of afraid of them, but I will do more research on them and how to use safely. I have learned quite a bit from your videos today, others really did not explain in terms I understood, but you did. Thanks for the tutorials! Great Job!!!

[@ummm8511]

@lovelyblkwoman Brown Thank you so much! I will give it a try.

[@kfl611]

I bet you could cook up a bunch, and freeze them. Provided you ate them quickly. They might break apart a bit from being frozen. If you jar them up and freeze them I think you have to leave more head space as they might expand from being frozen. I think they sell mason type jars that are designed for freezer use, or at least they used to, they may be a tad thicker. I've also read were people keep their freezer mason jars separate from their boil - heated mason jars. I don't think it matters, but they say a freezer jar, may be more prone to crack in the heat. Who knows, it is worth a try. I know plenty of prepackaged frozen food comes with beans as part of the ingredients adn to me once they are heated the beans taste just fine.

[@abudhabig0ld]

Thank you! You are the first person who has said 3/4 full, most people are saying for pints 1/2 cup, and I have a bunch of jars with a bit of beans swimming in sauce, I've eaten some but it's a waste, I'm using your method!

[@02271953me]

This morning was overcast after last nights rain, seemed a good day to PC. So, grabbed my beans and did 7 quarts of your Mex beans for refried bean and 7 quarts of these baked beans. Omigoodness - both are SO SO easy to put together and the sauce for the baked beans is addictive. The flavor is awesome - I can't wait to taste the final product but both batches are in the PC's right now. It ended up warming up to 70* outside and my house rather feels like a sauna, I'm not gonna lie. But still, what an easy task and both types of beans will be a perfect addition to my pantry. Thanks for 2 great, simple recipes!

[@kfl611]

I remember as a teenager, my sister was a cook at a Mexican restaurant. She used to cook up like 2 gallons of refried beans at a time. Cook the beans, run them through the meat grinder, cook them slowly with lots and lots of lard - bacon grease, and stir, stir, stir. I'm not sure how healthy they were, since it seemed they were 50 % bacon grease, or so it seemed, but they sure did taste good.

One that will be well appreciated, write down your favorite recipes and steps on how to make those dishes on a 3 X 5 card, I'm sure they are still sold - and save them in a small lock box. They can be scanned and photocopied to share. And one day when you have reached your reward and are no longer here on earth - someone in your family - even generations later, can cook up one of your meals and say that it tastes just like how mom used to make it! My grandmother was an excellent cook but she never showed anyone how she made what she made, it was her pride and joy and secret, and her secrets went with her. Which is a shame. I swear that woman could have taken an old bone and some water and have made a great tasting meal.

Perfect video, very clear directions as well! Thank you for showing this baked bean recipe and the canning of them. Newbie pressure cooker here, only had water bathed in the past. You have given me the confidence, from watching your videos. Santa is bringing me a pressure cooker. I am super excited! Thanks again.

Glad it was helpful! 😊

Love baked beans!!! Thank you for sharing! Can you put bacon in them? I will definitely be trying this out! Just found you don't know how I missed finding you earlier!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes, a small amount of bacon is safe to add :)

Hello, you have no idea how happy I am to have found your channel. I absolutely love your style and the way your bring your info to us. Thankyou so very much. I will be trying this recipe for sure.

[@ravenbard3109]

I am your newest subscriber Carol and have saved this recipe & going to try. I have canned cases of black beans and also pinto beans which I use the most of and have sent lots of quarts to relatives. It looks like you have used white beans for your recipe and I have not found white beans in bulk yet. Anxious to make these and it is just about time to put that garden in.. HAPPY CANNING & thanks for sharing. ♥♥

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

raven bard Hi! Canning is so addicting isn’t it?! I did use navy beans but honestly use whatever you love. I’ve even made these baked beans using a combination of different types of beans. Hope you enjoy the recipe... thank you for subscribing 💕

.Your directions and tutorials are educating and to the point. No nonsense in between to confuse us newbies to pressure canning. Thank you I plan o watch you regularly to learn as much as I can.

[@ryank2434]

thank you! did these and they turned out great

[@Eyes2C.]

I made this a few weeks ago. I opened a jar the other day and the beans were hard. The sauce was great! Im not sure what happened but going to try it again. The sauce really is better than bush and im sure much healthier!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Eyes 2 C I’m sorry your beans didn’t turn out well. I’ve never had trouble with my beans being hard. Did you soak them? Or could there have been an issue with your canner or timing? Those are the only things I could imagine would have caused the problem. I hope you will give it another try. 😊

[@Eyes2C.]

Thrifty Chic Housewife Yes.. I soaked them like you did. Not sure what happened. Ive been canning for years and never had this happen. For sure Im going to retry it tomorrow. 💖

[@mariebooze956]

those look yummy..I want to learn to pressure can, so watching these vids sure helps. is your canner a 915? .I want santa to bring me one this year. marie from Canada

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Marie Booze hi! Yes it’s a 915 and I think the perfect size (7 quarts or 9 pints). My husband was sweet enough to purchase it for me when I wanted to start learning. Great investment worth every penny 😊. I’ll warn you, canning is addicting 😉. Thanks for watching ❤️Carol

[@autumncochran4948]

I made these today and I love how simple it was . I even had enough left over to have with dinner. They are a big hit with my kids. I don't know what Bush baked beans taste like I have always just made my own out of pork and beans and other ingredients. But this is def my go to recipe for now on. They turned out great can't wait to put on my shelf. I'm ready to try the chicken recipes you have also. Thank you so much for sharing !

[@FrankiesGirls]

I'm really looking forward to trying this! quick question..can I just add the dry beans (scant 1/2 cup per pint) then add the sauce and can?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Frankie Firefly hi! No you shouldn’t do it that way to be safe. I’m a safety girl so I always follow safe canning guidelines😊. I know other canners do it that way but I wouldn’t and I can’t guarantee how they would turn out. However ultimately it’s up to you. Enjoy and thanks for watching 😍

[@FrankiesGirls]

Made them today and they are delicious! I added the cooked beans into the sauce, then filled the jars, leaving the one inch headspace. They are sweet with a little kick! LOVE THEM, Thank you, very much!

[@Dakiniwoman]

Thank you for your video.. I watched it before and today I am using this recipe for 7 quarts plus 17 pints... My sauce seems thicker than yours so I hope they will be alright. Last time I made them, I only soaked the beans overnight and didn't cook them so this time I am cooking them as you did.

[@paulkahlen8741]

Can I add bacon?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Paul Kahlen hi! I did a lot of research on this exact question. Technically there is no reliable resource that says you can SAFELY add bacon. That is why I intentionally left it out of my video. However, I have added it without a problem and it makes the beans extra good (I used 2 1”pieces of thick bacon per jar). I just cannot tell you it is safe to do so :(. So it’s up to your discretion. I know that’s not a great answer, sorry. Thanks for watching:)

[@AngiesPantry58]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 If you was to add bacon to your recipe you would have to pressure can it as if you was canning meat. It can be done. :") great reply to his question.. I am new to your channel. I have your recipe as one to try list for canning. :") Thanks for sharing.

[@trailwalker53]

My wife always takes Bush's beans and places them in a 9x13 casserole and adds strips of bacon to the top. Bakes till bacon is done and beans have caramelized and thickened. Hits the spot. Mom and Granny did it the same way so it is proven over about 65 years!

[@rahnlawson9463]

Your canning videos are great. I love the detail you provide and the safety tips.

[@WH6FQE]

I am waiting for my canner to arrive, I think this will be the first recipe that I try. I love baked beans, and since you give instructions for pint jars it is perfect for me since I am canning just for two of us.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

WH6FQE - RC Anderson I’m so happy for your new canner! How exciting! I will warn you, Canning is addicting 😊. Hope you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for watching 💕Carol

[@WH6FQE]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I canned a little bit many years ago with my grandmother when I was a child, but have never tried it on my own. I am just getting back into gardening now so I thought it was a good time to invest in a canner to process the foods from my garden. I am hoping to break my wife's habit of wanting to eat fast-food 4 or 5 days a week by using the canning to make meal prep easier and faster.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

WH6FQE - RC Anderson there’s nothing like opening a jar of something you canned yourself as I’m sure you recall with your Grandma. 😊 Once your wife tastes I’m sure she’ll get on board 😉. Happy canning!

[@user-ue1il6cx3v]

I love this recipe. I don't keep brown sugar in my house. I make brown sugar on a per recipe basis. So I ended up adding 3/4 cup of molasses and 1.5 cups white sugar. I also exchanged 1/2 a cup of the brown sugar with honey. And I also doubled the amount of the spices and the liquid smoke. I also added two tablespoons of fresh onion to each jar instead of adding it to the sauce.

[@kfl611]

Oh, I want a taste !

[@mandycassidy7548]

I canned your baked bean recipe today! They turned out beautifully! And I used my own seasoned tomato sauce (my pizza sauce) too! I didn't have molasses on hand so i substituted sorghum. We couldn't take the wait, so we just now popped open a jar to try. DELICIOUS!!!! I think I may split the tomato sauce and add in BBQ sauce tomorrow! But I don't want to mess up a good thing! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

[@TjTracyThomas]

I think i am probably the only one that didn’t care for the flavor of this recipe. The recipe came out practically perfect in quantity of beans to sauce. I idi 4 quarts in my AA 910 and 8 pints in my AA 915. First time i used 2 canners at once on my glass top stove. My husband was expecting it to crack and started looking for a replacement stove while they were processing. Lmao. All other recipes of yours i have tried in the past season have done pretty well. I appreciate the video. The morning after canning these they seemed more gel type consistency in the jars than liquid. See how they heat up later. You are always on point and organized. Safety being paramount. Thanks for sharing

[@TjTracyThomas]

I must update my comment. We decided to open another jar of these yesterday from the batch I processed 6 months ago and my husband and I both thought they were great. Its just the two of us and pints are perfect for our use. Thanks again Carol!!

[@jcat8528]

I had to use what I had around the house so I modified your recipe instead of tomato juice are used 29 ounces of tomato sauce and 29 ounces of water. Of course for tomato sauce I used another 29 ounce can of tomato sauce to make up the difference I also used one canned a fire roasted tomatoes blend it and threw that in. I had no liquid smoke so instead I used a quarter cup of hickory smoked barbecue sauce and 2 teaspoons of good smoked paprika. I also used to heaping tablespoons of yellow mustard because I had no dried so far the sauce tastes delicious I can’t wait to can these up. I’ve never made baked beans from scratch before and I can’t believe how yummy this recipe is

[@michelletullar9707]
