Boston Baked Beans

Boston Baked Beans are a traditional American dish featuring dried white beans, typically navy beans, cooked slowly with molasses, brown sugar, and sometimes salt pork or bacon. The slow baking process infuses the beans with a sweet and savory flavor profile, resulting in a tender, hearty dish. Originating from colonial New England, they are often served as a side or main course, celebrated for their rich history and comforting taste. The name also refers to a popular candy-coated bean treat, but the dish itself is a classic, flavorful baked bean recipe.
