Notes:
- To reduce the cook time by about an hour, soak beans before preparing Homemade Baked Beans recipe. Rinse beans in cold water and put them in a large pot covered with 3-4 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 1 hour. Drain, and add to baked bean pot along with the rest of the ingredients, including the 8 cups of water.
