welcome to The Sauce and Gravy Channel This 
is Johnny Mac the Gravy Guy It’s Saturday so I’m going to quickly walk you through how 
to make the ultimate baked beans recipe from scratch No shortcuts just real ingredients 
bold flavor and that classic homemade taste Round up a saucepan preferably one that’s 
oven safe I’m using a 3 and 1/2qt Dutch oven Drop in four slices of bacon that have 
been chopped over medium to high heat Stir and cook the bacon until it’s just about to 
turn lightly golden brown At that point you can add one sweet onion that has been diced Sweat the 
onions over medium heat until they’re translucent and tender When the onion and bacon mixture 
is right where you want it to be reduce the heat to low Now it’s time to start adding some 
additional ingredients to this homemade baked bean recipe First off one 15oz can or 425 g of 
tomato sauce If you’d like to see a full list of the ingredients check out the description 
section of the video Round up a flat bottom spatula and give it a quick 360 and try to scrape 
the sides and bottom of the pan to release that fond those bits and pieces up into the sauce 
Next up to bat 1/4 of a cup or 63 ml of maple syrup To that add another 1/4 of a 
cup or 63 ml of unsulphured molasses Remember those meals that made you feel at 
home well they’re back with The Sauce and Gravy Channel second cookbook Comfort Foods Made

section to order now Real comfort starts now Grab your whole grain mustard and drop in 1 
tbsp or 15 g Just to make sure that this baked bean recipe is sweet enough another 1/4 of a cup 
or 60 g of dark brown sugar To that you’ll add one teaspoon of salt one teaspoon of paprika 
half of a teaspoon of garlic powder half of a teaspoon of onion powder and half of a teaspoon 
of chili powder If you’d like to make it hotter add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes 
It’s your choice For a hint of smokiness half of a teaspoon of liquid smoke hickory flavor 
Round up everybody’s favorite what’s it sauce? otherwise known as wooster sauce Pour in 1 tbsp 
or 15 ml And it’s always good to spank in some black pepper Crank up the heat to medium Give 
it a quick stir And then you can drop in the beans For this recipe I used one lb or 454 g 
of dry navy beans I quickly cooked the beans in the Instant Pot by adding the dry beans and 
pouring in water covering the beans by at least 2 in or 5 cm I pressure cook them on high for 25 
minutes released the pressure naturally drained them and then added them to the sauce in the pot 
Or if you prefer you can use three to four 15.5 ounce cans of navy beans Mix the beans into 
the sauce over low to medium heat Bring the homemade baked bean recipe to a light 
simmer At that point grab the lid put it on the baked beans and bake it in a preheated 
oven at 325° F 163°C for 50 minutes to 1 hour After approximately an hour which gave you 
plenty of time to finish off the rest of the food for a backyard barbecue or a picnic 
or block party you’ve got this a delicious homemade baked bean recipe made with a from 
scratch sauce Give it all a quick mix and then you’re ready to dive in and enjoy Thank
