It's a good thing I went down to get this recipe for you. I forgot I was supposed to be starting split pea soup in the crockpot for dinner!
New England Baked Beans (modified from Fix it And Forget It cookbook)
1 lb dried beans (I tend to use navy beans) 1/4 lb salt pork, sliced or diced 1 qt water and water to cover for bean prep 1 tsp salt 1-4 T brown sugar 1/2 cup molasses 1/2-1 t dry mustard 1/2 t baking soda 1 onion, coarsely chopped 5 cups water
1. Cook beans in water until softened, or bring to boil, cover, and let stand for 1 1/2 hours. Drain and dump into crockpot 2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Mix well. 3. Cover. Cook on low 8 hours or High 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
You can also add 1 cup ketchup or tomato sauce if you want it more tomato-y, but my New England grandmother would not approve...
This keeps forEVER in the freezer, and tastes even better over time.
