Easy Bean Bake

[Guest guest]

In the original recipe, the author used real bacon (1 1/2 lb of the greasey

stuff). Bleh. I adjusted this to fit my taste and diet, and I must say it is

very

good, and certainly healthier. If you find it isn't smokey enough for you, just

add a bit of liquid smoke, or more MSF bacon strips.

 

Easy Bean Bake

 

2 1/2 cups dry great northern beans (about one pound)

1 tsp salt

1 package (5.25 oz) MSF bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

1 cup packed sugar

3 Tbs molasses

3 small onions, chopped

 

Place beans in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; boil for 2

minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain, discarding

liquid, and return bean to pan. Add salt, cover with fresh water; bring to boil.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for one hour or until beans are tender. Drain,

reserving liquid. Combine beans, 1 cup liquid and the remaining ingredients

in a greased 2 1/2 qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 1/4 hours or

until beans are tender, stirring occasionally (add additional reserved liquid if

needed) Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
