1 pot of beans
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 lb navy beans
- 6 ounces salt pork
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 gallon water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
directions
- Pick over the beans, rinse then soak them overnight in a big pot of water.
- Drain then boil the beans with fresh water for 1 and 1/2 hours till soft, drain again.
- Remove the skin from the salt pork, and cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Cut the onion into quarters.
- Arrange some of the salt pork and onion in bottom of bean pot.
- Add beans, then another layer of onion and pork.
- Add the molasses, pepper and mustard.
- Top with fresh water to rim of pot.
- Cover and bake at 350 F (176 C) for 2 and 1/2 hours.
- Keep an eye on water levels, you may need to adjust by taking the lid off or adding more hot water.
- Don't have a bean pot? Get one! I'm joking, you can also use a Dutch Oven, or do it on the stove-top. Stove-top is tricky, you need to stir a lot and frequently.
