Question:

Will this be a good baked bean recipe?

I've never made baked beans beforeI looked up a recipe online and this is the recipe they have:2 cans of Pork and beans, liquid included1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed4 green onions, chopped, stems included1 tablespoon of brown mustard2 tablespoons of ketchup4 strips of bacon, fried and crumbledMix all ingredients except bacon until well combined.Place in an oven proof casserole dish that has been prepared with non-stick spray and cover with foilBake at 350 degrees for 2 hoursRemove the foil and sprinkle bacon evenly over the topReturn uncovered to the oven and bake for an hour more.Three hours seems like A LONG TIMEto be in the ovenThat's how long it takes to roast a turkey!!!If you have a better baked bean recipe, please tell meAlso I'm thinking that in 2 hours it will be a hunk of charcoalHELP!!!

Answer:

I agree the baking time is a way too longI bake my beans for 45 to 50 minutes total, uncovered, and the sides from where the liquid condenses is burned in that short amount of timeOf course covering them will keep in the liquid, but it also cooks it more quickly as is hotter (think about getting into a car with its windows rolled up on a hot daySame principle applies.) Your recipe is a good oneYou might want to consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder to it and/or a couple strong shakes of Worcestershire sauceLike chili there is no single perfect recipe out thereThere is a recipe, however that is perfect for youTrial and error will help you determine it Here's mine 2 (1 lb.) cans of baked beans1 medium onion diced 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or garlic salt whichever I have) 4 slices of bacon, cut up and fried 1/4 cup molasses (which I rarely have, so I substitute 1/4 cup pancake syrup and then omit the brown sugar below) 1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup Heinz 57 sauce Mix everything up (including the bacon) and bake uncovered for 45 - 50 minutes or until bubblyYou can also cook this on the stove top, but baking it makes for a thicker dish You can also put it in a cast iron skillet, which will be easier to clean than a casserole or use an aluminum pan that you can throw away.
1) Plasmids are tiny, microscopic parts of bacteria - they have nothing to do with dinosaurs2) If you mean the pyramids, we've done that experiment many timesIf you have unlimited labor, you just keep throwing bodies at the problem3) A modern construction crane can lift FAR more than ANY dinosaur could have liftedSteel is stronger than bone4) That 25,000 ton figure is a GROSS exaggeration.
You mean the pyramids, right? I hope soMy father was a master stone mason, who weighed a grand total of 145 lbsHe regularly moved two or three ton rocks without the benefit of cranes, vehicles of any kind, or even horsesHow? By using simple tools, such as rollers and inclined planes and ropeThe Egyptians had the same technology as my father, but a lot more manpowerSince stone was one of their preferred building materials, they also had the skills to figure out how to move and position those big ol' suckers While we're at it, Dad also used twine, water, cold weather, and a chisel and hammer to split stones the size of a small houseThe Egyptians could have used the same technique (ice does form in the deserts of Egypt at night, btw)It's not rocket science, and no dinosaurs are needed.
You mean like The Flintstones used dinosaurs? lol I don't know.
well see humans today are stupidWe'll try to figure some scientific way to do things and use technology to build or solve a problemHumans back then used nature, Logs and a huge piece of wood, you'd push a rock on top of that and then push the whole thing, the logs served as wheels so it made it easier, you put a human out in the woods today without any knifes or cell phones or anything, he's deadYour average field mouse has a better chance of survival
