Thought I would post this. I've been doing my beans this way for many, many years and they do go fast!

As you can see it is a VERY old recipe! I often times will put a piece of salt pork in the middle of the beans. And I use nothing but B & M beans! You can also do these in a crock pot.

sounds good! but what are b&m beans and how long if cooked using the slow cooker? thanks.

B&M Baked Beans

I like your recipe annie! never thought of adding Worcestershire sauce...

CS, Brian answered you about the B & M beans...only kind of beans to buy! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />
As for the slow cooker...to be honest I don't remember how long I put them in that for but if I was doing them tomorrow I would probably put it on high for an hour and then low for an hour or so.

Brian, it is a good recipe and as you can see it is pretty old. I have it on a faded page from the magazine and I put that in a plastic sleeve as it was falling apart! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

best way to make them is still in a dark, heavy ceramic pot in the oven for a couple hours!
I have my grandmothers bean pot that is older than I am...
it's one of those old 4-qt. brown ceramic pots with the big handle coming out the side...
and it probably weighs 10 pounds!
I think the only thing it has ever been used for is baked beans... and baked mac & cheese...

Now that takes me back - baked mac 'n cheese. Oh to have my mom's recipe again. Anybody??

I use:
1 pound elbows
make about two cups bechmel sauce
add a lot of mild cheddar (sharp or ex-sharp are too grainy and don't come out creamy)
and a bunch of American & swiss...
mix all together and put in the ceramic pot...
topped with butter fried bread Itallian crumbs...
Bake at 350F covered with alum. foil for 1/2 hour, then uncover and bake for an additional 1/2 hour to brown...
let stand for 15 minutes before serving...
a deep ROUND or OVAL pyrex dish works well too...
NOT SQUARE!
I use round or the corners will burn...
Deb also puts thin sliced kielbasa in the macaroni water to cook with the pasta... and then adds it to the mac & cheese mixture...
for really creamy, make the cheese sauce in a double-boiler...

Ooooo Thanks Brian Thank God my cholesterol will be checked before I make this.

Brian, I totally agree about the bean pot. That's how I make the beans. It does make a difference in the taste. But if you are doing these for a party it is very convenient to use the crock pot.

Yep, a crockpot is great also, ours is a large pot with a heavy removable ceramic insert...
comes out almost as good as in the oven in a bean pot... but not quite as good...
I agree with your timings for the crockpot... one hour on high, one hour on low...
