Here is how you make Beautiful Black and Red Bean Bake:

This recipe makes 12 generous 1/2 C servings.Assuming you have washed, picked through, and soaked your Black and Red Beans before you begin this dish, the time involved mentioned will be correct. If you use canned beans, the dish will take only one hour to cook, but you will not have that rich slow cooked flavor. Also, canned beans will not need as much salt, so use half the salt or none at all.Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.Place all ingredients except water into your 2 Qt. bean pot, covered casserole dish, or dutch oven. If you have fresh Bay Leaves, you will have to use 3. If dried, only 1.Stir in enough of the water to have moisture up to the top of the mixture, but not over. Cover dish firmly with aluminum foil and put your lid on top.Bake for one hour, stir, taste, adjust seasonings, and add a little water if needed.Bake for one more hour and do the same. After 2.5 hours, your beans should be finished, but you want to eat a spoonful to make sure before you turn off the oven.Serve as noted before with your favorite starch. I especially enjoy serving this dish with spaghetti squash. Colorful and delicious! May also sprinkle each serving with veggie cheese shreds or veggie Parmesan cheese.
