Baked beans

Ingredients:
About 3 cups cooked white beans
1 cup water
extra virgin olive oil
2 small onions (I always use red, but do whatever)
2 large or 4 medium sized cloves garlic
4 Tb ketchup
4 Tb yellow mustard
4 Tb molasses
1 t paprika
1/2 t garlic powder
salt, pepper, cayenne

1) Chop onions and add them to a stovetop pan with olive oil (I used about 2 Tb evoo) over medium heat.

2) Dice garlic, and add to onion. Sprinkle both with salt, and cook until almost caramelized (browned).

3) You should have a crust of residue from the caramelizing; add just a splash of water to “deglaze.” Remove from heat.

4) Add rinsed, cooked beans and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.

5) In an 8×8 pyrex baking dish, mix remaining ingredients (cayenne optional).

6) Add beans, onions, and garlic.

7) Place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Let cook until a nice little pseudo-crust has formed on top (~20/30 minutes?), and remove.
