Savory Baked Beans

Here's a great recipe for baked beans! Simple to cook, goes with many other recipes, and it's big on taste. I haven't done so, but i'm sure it would work in the crock pot. This is great for pot-lucks. This goes great with coleslaw and some roasted corn on the cob.

Steps

Wash and pick over beans.
Place them in a large saucepan and cover with the water.
Bring to a boil , and boil for 2 minutes.
Cover and let stand for 1 hour.
Add bay leaf , garlic , onion and parsley to the beans.
Bring to a boil again.
Cover loosely and simmer for 45 minutes , or until beans are just tender.
Drain , if necessary.
Put beans in 1 1 / 2-quart casserole.
Meanwhile , saute celery in the oil for about 5 minutes.
Add pickles , tomatoes , basil , salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil.
Simmer 10 minutes , stirring occasionally.
Stir mixture into beans.
Cover.
Bake at 250 for 2 hours.
Uncover.
Sprinkle with the cheese.
Return to oven and bake 5 minutes longer.
