I miss my Gram so much. These were her baked beans, trotted out most holidays. The calories are slightly estimated high, because I don’t know exactly how much calories and fat come off the hambone, ham hock, or bacon. It depends on what you use and since you don’t EAT the meat, it just flavors, I wasn’t sure what to count. I made my best guess. To be authenic, this needs to be cooked and served in a deep ceramic type brown container. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 C. dried Small White Beans (Navy Beans)
\nSmall Onion, diced
\n1 Heaping tsp. Mustard
\n1\/2 C. Catsup
\n2-3 T. Molasses
\n2-3 T. Brown Sugar
\nHam Bone, Ham Hock or Side of Bacon (not Sliced)<\/p>\n
Soak beans overnight. Pour off water discarding any husks. The skins should peel when you blow on them. Put beans in deep (not flat) baking dish. Add water to 1 \u201c over beans. Add all ingredients except ham bone. Cook 1 hour. Add 1 tsp. salt (or to taste). Add ham bone and bake slowly all day at 250-325. Add water as needed so it doesn’t dry out and burn\/stick.<\/p>\n
