Baked Bean Recipe

Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Does anyone out there have a greaaat baked bean recipe that does not
use canned pork and beans. I'm trying to avoid some of the sodium and
would like to make my own beans.[p]Also, awhile back someone on the forum showed a picture of baked beans
on the egg in a crockpot. If that person, or anyone, knows the details of using a crockpot on the egg for baked beans could you please give me some advice. Thanks for any info.

    I make boston baked beans, then divide the batch into halves. Then I make BBQ beans with one half & leave the other half alone. [p]I usually wing it, so there really isn;t a recipe. [p]Boston Beans: (lots of Google recipes)
    Salt pork, dry mustard, molasses, brown sugar, onion, white navy beans. [p]Then I add bbq sauce, chopped brisket or pork, chipotle powder, cumin, brown suger, bacon strips. [p]

    mywidget,
    2 small onions sliced thick
    2 pounds beans,mix kidney, yellow eye, red beans
    3 TBL brown sugar
    3TBL white sugar
    2tsp dry mustard
    half pound salt pork
    1 cup molasses
    1TBL sea salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1tsp baking soda[p]soak beans 24 hours in water. bring to a simmer and remove 2 cups water and reserve. add soda to the beans and simmer 1 half hour, turn off and soak for 1 hour. drain and toss this liguid.
    bring other ingrediants and reserved water to a boil. layer onions beans onions beans then salt pork floating on top and add the sauce.add boiled water to cover beans.
    in the egg i setup at 250 inderect with no saltpork for the first hour or so, then add the pork and cook for 5 hours covered. remove cover for last hour to brown the pork. total cook time is about 6-8 hours, make sure all ingrediants are hot before putting into the egg.[p]one thing that ive found is that different water supplys make the times different. my water demands that the soak times are long and that simmering first is needed with the beans or they are hard when cooked. ive used other water sources and did not have this problem
    i use a bean pot, a crock pot should be fine but have never tried it, hopefully yours has a glass cover and not the plastic
