Directions
- Directions:
- Wash beans and put in large bowl.
- Cover beans with water and let soak overnight.
- Drain and put beans in a 4 qt sauce pan.
- Add baking soda and bring to boil.
- Again drain and rinse and cover with water and bring to boil again.
- Put onions on bottom of a deep casserole. ( I use a cast iron pot).
- Add the rest of the ingredients and then dump the beans and enough of
- the bean water to cover the beans. Lay salt pork or bacon on top and
- cover. Put in a 225 oven for 11 hours or until beans are tender. If
- you have to, add water as it evaporates. After 10 hours or so, you
- can remove the lid and allow the salt pork or bacon to crisp up.
