Beans are the easiest thing to make. Where do you think the expression "You don't know beans" came from?

The Anchorman's Bacon Boston Baked Beans

3 # dry beans power soaked (boil 1 1/2 gal of H20, put in dry beans soak for 1 hour)
1 pound bacon cut into small pieces
1 Large Spanish Onion medium diced
2 ounces mustard prepared and your choice
1 12 ounce jar of mollasses
1 1/2 cup brown sugar light or dark your choice
Salt and pepper to taste


cook bacon until almost crisp
add diced onion, cook until desired doneness

add all ingredients into a 2 gallon bean pot

cover with enough water to cover by an inch

place in 350 degree oven for aprox 5 hours

should be just right Yield about 2 gallons

I just made enough for 100 people, they freeze well just defrost them under refridgeration for a couple of days. Do Not heat them from a frozen state they will turn into mush.

I would be interested in how you bake large quantities of beans. Such as 2 to 5 gallons.

I am researching opening a roadside BBQ stand. Seems that the HD requirements are not to difficult here in MS. I begin with something simple like Pork Sammies and potato chips.

I would like to also serve baked beans so that brings me to the question how do you cook them efficiently?

Thanks

I would never use canned beans to serve to my customers. We make our own from scratch and there is no comparsion. I can't see wasting time doctoring up someone else's product. I've made them in dutch ovens on the Lang or you can make them in a crockpot, etc...Why spend all day smokin a pork butt and serve it with a tin of beans! imho

Same goes for chili, would you crack open a can or make your own?? :thumb:

I guess it's a personal thing..to each his own,,eh.
Cheers
