FAVORITE CANNED BAKED BEANS Made from Scratch

If you enjoy canned beans this is a great recipe for you. The small white navy beans cook up really well with a minimum amount of soaking and the flavors from the sauce make it hard to tell this bean recipe from the best ones you can buy in the can at the store.
Favorite Canned Baked Bean
2 lbs of white navy beans
7 cups of tomato juice
3 cups plain tomato sauce
2 cups of brown sugar
1 ½ cups chopped onions
½ cup molasses
1 ½ tbsps of liquid smoke
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp allspice
1 ½ tbsps of dried mustard
Carefully pick through 3 pounds of dried small white navy beans, looking for ones that are not perfect and ensure there are no foreign objects in them, like rocks or sticks. Rinse the beans and then put them in a large pot, cover the beans with water about one inch over the beans. Bring the pot to a boil and then shut the heat off and time one hour. After the one hour is up drain the beans add them back to the pot covering them again with water about one inch over the beans. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer for 30 minutes.
While the beans are simmering move on to the sauce. Mix all of the remaining ingredients together in a big pot and stirring frequently simmer the mixture until the timer goes for the beans.
Drain the beans. Fix quart jars ¾ full with beans and ladle the sauce over the beans. Clean your jar rims and put on the bands. Put the filled jars into your pressure canner and can quarts for 90 minutes and pints for 75 minutes.

I’m planning to can 7 or 8 quarts of baked beans today, so I’m just looking at various recipes to see how I might improve my own. I must say that out of all the videos I’ve seen, your sauce looks the absolute best! It is so rich in color, and it just looks delicious! Thanks for the video!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Your welcome, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Best wishes, Colleen

[@valbushon8392]

Your Baked Beans are wonderful! Thank you so much for sharingI I had left over sauce, cooked it down and it turned into great tasting BBQ Sauce! 2# Navy beans made 9 pints. A "Silver" gal from Northern California :)

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you for your comments! We love the beans and what a great idea you had there cooking down the sauce. Cheers, Colleen

[@gerdadewinter2520]

What a great recipe, we love beans and we grow so much on the farm. You got me, I buy me NESCO.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

@@gerdadewinter2520 I have sure appreciated my Nesco canner.

[@estherlathem3672]

Made 15 quarts a couple days ago. Thought we would have a jar with supper last night- my family went crazy for them!! Even my littlest grandson 17 months. I can see I’ll have to make more... we ate three jars! And only part of my family was home!!! Big hit!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!

Thanks for the instructions Colleen.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Last seasons baked beans I wasn’t happy with. Everything I have tried of yours has been fabulous. SO, I’m making your beans this year! Thank you, Colleen 👍🏻❤️

[@oursilvermoments6028]

There is something about the flavor of molasses in baked beans that I really enjoy. Cheers, Colleen

[@pauletterichards4755]

I’m trying this soon

[@user-wm4el5hv3c]

sounds great ... will complement my regular canned beans, affording some variety

You're very welcome, I hope you enjoy this recipe. Best wishes, Colleen

[@CherylAnderson0]

I am going to try this recipe soon. I've canned two different baked bean recipes and both were good but both needed a little tweaking when the jars were opened- a little ketchup and mustard. I want one that's ready straight out of the jar and hoping this is it. Thank you for sharing

[@robindemaio2073]

Thank you Colleen for your tried and true recipes ♥️♥️

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You are most welcome, thanks for watching!

[@myboibill]

Very informative and enjoyable video. I never though to can my own beans. Here in New England I still. Bake beans every other Saturday from Ictober until May but I like this recipe and will certainly try this. Thank you.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I do hope you give it a try. I can them both in pints and quarts so that if we have people over I can open a quart but a pint does the two of us for several meals. Best wishes, Colleen

[@joannjohnson62]

I have never canned, although this does interest me.....I like the sauce you prepared to go with these beans. Thanks Colleen for sharing.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Rose Marie, It took me a long time to find this one. Its my favorite all time. Cheers, Colleen

[@estherlathem3672]

Love how your beans look!! The sauce was the selling point for me. I noticed though when I looked at your recipe in the description it doesn’t have the apple cider vinegar. I think it probably adds a great taste to the end product I have to remember to put it in. Can’t wait to try these. Thanks for sharing it

[@user-dy4ol8bn9c]

Thank you so much!! Awesome once again Colleen. frm nys ❤🧓

[@BSalfi]

Oh, Colleen! I cannot tell you how many times we have talked about doing our own beans, but feel intimidated by the process. No more excuses now? :)) Looking forward to giving this a try. Thank you for this one.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hi Bev, Oh my goodness yes! This would be a perfect recipe for a beginner canner. Not only is it easy but its a delicious recipe. Hugs, Colleen

[@debbielowry3009]

New canner here, my single brother is getting these for Christmas!

I think that is a great idea and I'm sure he will love them. Best wishes, Colleen

If your beans are as delicious as your coleslaw, I’m sold! I will be making these soon.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

They are, or at least we think they are. Thank you for following along. Best wishes, Colleen

[@ConnecttheDotsBaby]

I am definitely going to make this. Your coleslaw is fabulous by the way

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello, I am glad that you are enjoying the coleslaw we think its pretty fantastic. I will be sharing some recipes for water bathed canning the old fashioned way. Just working up my bravery because there are a lot of people out there that have been conditioned to think that the USDA way of canning is the only way and they are very sure they are right. Cheers, Colleen

[@ConnecttheDotsBaby]

@@oursilvermoments6028 you are so right. It takes 4 hours in my pressure canner from beginning to end the Amish water bath I think everything for 3 hours. So maybe it's a short cut, maybe it's not. I'm going to try and can mac and cheese soon. Lol they partly cook the noodles, because they say it keeps them firmer. I'm going to try it both ways and see which is better.

[@nancyteno6335]

You are one ambious woman. Love all your receipts.

These look wonderful!! I canned corn last weekend and am going to do beans tomorrow. I think I found the receipe I want to try! Texas is still suffering the heat. This has been the hotest summer ever!!! I see people doing fall videos, I just can't get in that mode. It's still 102°-103° when I leave work at 7pm!😥

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Oh my gosh Michelle, That is hot. Thanks are definitely cooling off here. It was just 62 degrees in the house this morning when we got up so we turned the furnace on. Hopefully it starts to cool off for you soon. Best wishes, Colleen

[@kathi7956]

After almost 40 years of thinking in metrics I just roll my eyes when recipes say 1 cup of zucchini!😂 It now seems so imprecise.

[@tbakken12]

I would love to make these but I don’t currently can because of my mobility issues. Any advice as to how I would adjust this recipes cook time if not canning? I really want to try your recipe it sounds delicious! So any advice on how to make this recipe when not canning would be greatly appreciated! 🤗❤️

[@rhondarogers2762]

Thank you,very much 💕 I will be canning this recipe this weekend. Also, not sure if you all have tried fried hotdogs,after they have been canned? 😋Delicious 😋 my grandkids love them.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I haven't tried that bit it is something I'm interested in trying. Thank you for the idea. Cheers, Colleen

[@babs3343]

For this, I really want to try making baked beans. You have the same type of electric canner I do. That is yours call 44 cups of water in the creator pressure and steam? I used mine to cook 1/2 pints of plain navy beans. Sometimes my husband likes something for supper that I am not fond of so now he can have his choice and I’ll just heat up some navy beans for me. Yay!

[@useruntracabletrance]

I'm sure this is a great recipe

[@teeh917]

Bless your heart you must have been reading my mind and knew I was looking for a good home canned baked bean recipe !! This will be my first year of canning baked beans but the recipe I was going to try was given really bad reviews by some ladies I know who thankfully tried the recipe before I did. I love sweet, sweet baked beans and I was tickled to see yours had no vinegar. 😀 I so enjoy your videos and recipes. Blessings from Arkansas in the US. 💐

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Teresa, Thank you, our family enjoys this recipe but it does have a bit of apple cider vinegar in it. Definitely a recipe worth trying. Best wishes, Colleen

[@pennyhochhalter3065]

What brand of canner and what size is yours

[@bethrichardson5998]

You mentioned bacon but I didn't see how much you used for each jar.. I need to can up baked beans.. love them

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hi Beth, I don't use much bacon in each jar. It would probably be equal to about one strip of bacon. Just enough to add a bit of flavor. Best wishes, Colleen

[@donnarichey144]

The National Center for food preservation says now you can do 65 min for pints and 75 min for quarts. This recipe looks good, but if I make them I will leave out the liquid smoke it takes over the flavor, I don't want it strong. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you for the update Donna! One of rhe reasons we all can is so that we can adjust the recipes to our own tastes. Best wishes, Colleen

[@pamelagraham3100]

What brand is your pressure canner?

If I don’t have a pressure cooker what can I use.

[@karenosche5348]

Do you put water inside your canner and what kind of salt are you putting in your sauce?

[@eckankar7756]

DO you ever put meat in with your beans? I smoke some pork on the BBQ and add about 1/2 the amount of beans in smoked pork for Pork and Beans. So good. I've never seen an electric pressure canner. I wish you had shown us the finished beans and some from the jar you were going to open the next day to see the texture.

[@brianpayne-ns8il]

I want to do that how long will it last when you can it😊

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I have left it canned for 2 years and it was still good.

[@madhousenetwork]

How long can they be stored in refrigerator and outside?

[@oursilvermoments6028]

We have just opened some from 2 years ago and they are great. But we can to try and use within a two year period. I'm sure they would last longer but we haven't tried them out.

[@madhousenetwork]

@@oursilvermoments6028 wow 2 years in refrigerator? definitely got to try. thanks!

[@donnarichey144]

I made your sauce last night and did pinto beans. I presoaked for just a few hours and put a couple tablespoons of organic vinegar. Then drained and rinsed and put fresh water in and cooked for 30 minutes. Did the sauce and canned, but I was worried about them swelling so I only filled 3/4 full, there was like 2-3 inches from the one inch space, now I am concerned they will not be safe to use. I didn't understand chicken has how many inches of head space and safe. Someone said to redo them. I am not doing that. Will they be safe?
