Baked Beans

Yes, you can make your own beans!

If you don't have a bean pot, use a dutch oven, or better yet just slow cook and use an electric crock pot.

Prepare the following:

• 1 package of white beans (about 2 cups - pre-soaked overnight)
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 lb bacon, diced
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 tbsp prepared mustard
• dash of dark rum
  

• 1 link of ham sausage, cut in 1" pieces

Cook in oven for 2-3 hours or slow cook in crock pot for 6-8 hours. Stir occasionally.
A meal with a salad and some fresh bread!
