You can feel good about using Stakich Buckwheat Honey in this sumptuous baked bean recipe to provide a more varied flavor that is definitely worth the wait!

Ingredients

  • ½ lb dried great Northern beans (1¼ c), rinsed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 c Stakich Buckwheat Honey
  • 1 tsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, mashed (optional)
  • 4 c water

Directions

Place beans in medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 325°F

Heat oil in ovenproof 2½-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, chipotle pepper, and garlic. Add water, honey, salt, and reserved beans and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, and put in oven.

Bake until beans are tender, 3 to 4 hours. Stir every hour. Add boiling water, if needed, to keep beans covered and soupy.
