Recipe Introduction


This is another attempt at using local produce to improve a classic recipe. My husband prefers it to regular Boston Baked Beans





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups yellow eyed beans
  
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
  
• 1/2 lb local bacon (I use Sandy Hill Farms bacon) chopped
  
• 6 Tablespoons local sorghum
  
• 1 tsp dry mustard
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  






Instructions



1. Soak beans for 1-2 hours. Drain and simmer in water for 20 minutes. Drain again.
   
2. Place 1/3 of beans in a dutch oven. Add 1/3 of onions and 1/3 of bacon. Repeat until everything is used up.
   
3. Mix remainder of ingredients with at least 1 cup hot water and cover oven.
   
4. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 4 hours (more if oven is slow). Occasionally check water levels so beans don't dry out. Stir once or twice during the 4 hours.
