Homemade Heinz Baked Beans
Recipe video above. This is seriously so similar to Heinz, it's scary! Except - no artifical flavouring, and the sauce isn't slimy which I really hate about canned baked beans. Make with DRIED or CANNED beans. Navy beans / haricot, if you can find them (that's what Heinz uses) otherwises any beans (preferably white).

5
Simmer Reduce heat so it's simmering gently (medium or medium low). Partially cover with lid (leaving a crack for steam to escape), then cook for 1 - 1.⏱️ 5 hrs until just tender. (Start checking at ⏱️ 45 min). Beans should be still slightly firm on inside (they're cooked more in the sauce). Drain, use per recipe.

Baked Beans:

Mix - Place all Baked Beans ingredients in a pot (except beans) and stir, then add beans.
