1 lb Great northern or small
2 lb Mixed beans – Great
Northerns, white beans Romans, and random mix. 1 ts Salt (omitted)
1 ts Dry mustard
2 ts Dry mustard
1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
1/2 ts Black pepper from a bottle
1 ds Hot sauce
1 ts (heaping) hot chili
Condiment 1/2 c Chopped onion
1 1/2 c Coarse chopped onion
1/4 c Molasses or honey
1/2 c (scant) honey
1/4 c Brown sugar
8 ts White sugar
1/4 c Cider vinegar
1/2 c White vinegar
Presoak beans. Drain. Combine dry ingredients and mix with beans; stir in other ingredients. Pour into 1 1/2 qt. or 2 qt. baking dish or bean pot. [Obviously, if you double the recipe like I did, you’ll need a bigger pot :-] Pour in boiling water to cover. Cover. Bake at 300 degrees for 6 hours; add a bit of boiling water if needed. (Crock-pot method: cook on low 8-10 hours.) Comments: I just dumped everything on top of the beans and stirred them; then covered them with hot tap water. They took a lot longer than 10 hours to cook, but that might have been due to too-low heat on the crockpot. (Also, reportedly vinegar and other acid substances need to be added at the end of cooking else they’ll make the beans tough.) These beans were *really* good. The caramelized onions were even better. I’ve enjoyed the beans plain, with barbecue sauce, and with spinach and corn added. Source: From the ‘Bean Bonanza’ flyer I got in my grocery store. Posted by “Aliza R.
