Add 1 cup of water and lower the heat to 200ºF (low heat). Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the beans, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring often (if you want the sauce to be thicker, cook it a bit longer).

Notes

Fridge Storage: Store the baked beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: To freeze the beans, let them cool first, transfer to a freezer-safe container and into the freezer for up to 6 months.
Reheat: Reheat them in the electric skillet on low heat or in the microwave.
Prep Tip: When preparing these beans, to fast track chopping the veggies, you can throw all the onions, carrots, garlic, and celery into the food processor and pulse them. That way they are cut into tiny bits that blend into the texture of the beans.
