These baked beans are nothing like the canned variety you may be used to. The rich sauce has wonderful smokiness from chopped bacon and a subtle sweetness from maple syrup.—Elizabeth Horton, Brattleboro, Vermont

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried navy beans
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 pound thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped
