THE Best Home Made Beans EVER


Tonya and I really like beans.  Although the gas you get from them isn't so great, but beans are a musical fruit.  What?  You never heard the rhyme?

Beans, beans
The Musical Fruit
The more you eat
The more you toot

The Tea Biscuit, is from an earlier post.  To see that recipe, click "HERE".

Ingredients

1 pound Yellow Eyed Beans
12 cups of water (Divided)
1 onion chopped
2 tablespoons of butter
4 to 6 sliced of bacon chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcester sauce
1 tablespoon powdered garlic
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Stuff you will need

Porcelain covered Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Stiring spoon
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Patience

Directions

Soak your beans overnight in 6 cups of water.  They are going to swell during the night.  

Drain, rinse and put back in the Dutch Oven with the remainder of the 6 cups of water.

Boil the beans for 1 hour.

Get another large mixing bowl and put your colander in the bowl.  Drain the beans and keep the liquid.

In the Dutch Oven, add the butter and fry up the onions.

Once the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, add the remainder of the ingredients, including the liquid that you retained from boiling the beans.

Cover the beans and put the Dutch Oven in the oven at 250 F for about 4 hours.  Or, if you prefer, cover and leave the Dutch Oven on the stove top at low heat for 4 hours.

My stove top has settings from 1 to 10.  I put the Dutch Oven at 2, for 4 hours on the stove top.  That allowed me to make the Tea Biscuits in the oven.
