Buster’s Baked Beans

May 17, 2010

Serves 20 according to Buster. That’s ridiculous.

• 2 pounds dry white Navy Beans
• 2 cups dark beer
• 1/2 pound salt pork
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 2 cups molasses
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup catsup
• 2 tablespoons dry mustard
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound bacon, chopped

Wash the beans, cover with water and soak overnight.

In the morning change the water, add the salt pork and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for one hour.

Drain beans, reserving broth. Mix the beans, 2 cups of broth, 1 cup of beer and remaining ingredients in a Dutch oven.

Bake at 250 degree for 6 to 9 hours, adding beer as needed. Uncover the pot during the last hour of cooking so that the top becomes crusty.
