GS Recipes-Bean Hole Beans

[Guest guest]

I would

put aluminum foil over the top of the pot before burying it to help

keep the dirt out.

 

Bean Hole Beans

 

6 cups navy beads

2 small onions, minced

2 tsp. dry mustard

8 oz. Worthington Wham, cut into small pieces.

*Wham is a vegetarian alternative for Ham and come

frozen already slice or in a log*

3 tsp. salt

¼ cup brown sugar

Pinch of baking soda

½ cup molasses

 

1. Wash beans and soak in water, preferably overnight.

2. Cook beans over low heat for 1 hour.

3. Grease Dutch oven or kettle and sprinkle a layer of onions on the

bottom.

4. Pour in half of the beans with some of the liquid in which they

were parboiled.

5. Sprinkle half of a mixture of soda, mustard, salt, and brown sugar

over the beans.

6. Add a layer of diced salt pork and rest of the onions.

7. Pour in the remainder of the beans and sprinkle over this final

layer the remaining dry ingredients and Wham.

8. Pour the molasses over all. The beans should be just covered with

liquid.

9. Place a tight-fitting lid on the kettle. It should fit securely,

for the beans will dry out if the steam escapes.

10. Cook in bean hole 4-6 hours.

 

*Wham can be purchased at some healthfood stores in the frozen section at at

Adventist Book Centers Worldwide(they have a large natural foods health store

included in them.) Here is what the package looks like
