Ingredients: 3 cups navy or cannellini beans, soaked overnight; 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced; 1 onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic; ¼ cup molasses; ¼ cup brown sugar; 2 tbsp Dijon mustard; 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 2 cups chicken broth; 1 can crushed tomatoes

Smoky sweet baked beans made completely from scratch, cooked long and slow with bacon and molasses. Uncovering the dish for the final thirty minutes of its three-hour bake is what lets the sauce reduce and caramelise around the beans, rather than staying thin and soupy.
