Heinz Copycat Baked Beans
A quick and easy baked beans recipe that tastes exactly like Heinz!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Navy beans, dried
- 3-4 cups water
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 8 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Add beans to a large bowl and cover with the 2-3 cups of water or about 3 times the amount of beans. Soak overnight.
- Next day, drain the beans and rinse well. Add to a pot with enough water to cover well. Bring to a boil and cook until beans are soft, about 50-60 minutes. You can also pressure cook them for 20 minutes. Drain the beans and set aside.
- In a medium saucepot, combine the broth, 1 cup water, onion powder, garlic powder, ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk together until smooth and add beans. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring now and then to prevent the beans from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- In a small bowl combine the ¼ cup water and cornstarch. Stir well so the cornstarch gets fully dissolved then add to the simmering beans. Stir well and cook another 3-5 minutes. Check for seasoning and serve.
