Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb great northern or small 2 lb mixed beans - great 1 northerns, white beans 1 romans, and random mix. 1 tsp salt (omitted) 1 tsp dry mustard 2 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1/2 tsp black pepper from a bottle 1 dash hot sauce 1 tsp (heaping) hot chili 1 condiment 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 1/2 cup coarse chopped onion 1/4 cup molasses or honey 1/2 cup (scant) honey 1/4 cup brown sugar 8 tsp white sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup white vinegar
Recipe
Preparation
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.
