Baked Beans – East Coast Style
SOAK BEANS OVERNIGHT in cold water
Beans should be covered by at least 2 inches of water. Rinse/drain and refill multiple times will reduce “gas”.
Drain.
Add 5 cups cold water, cover, heat to boiling, then simmer 30 minutes or until nearly tender.
Drain.
Place onion slices on bottom of 6-cup casserole dish.
Add remaining ingredients in with the beans, stirring gently to combine, then pour entire mixture into casserole dish.
Add enough water to cover mixture, and place sliced lean pork on top.
Cover with lid and bake in oven at 250F for 7 hours.
When beans are tender, remove 1 cup of beans, mash, then stir back into pot carefully.
Cover and continue to bake. Add water as needed to keep beans covered.
One hour before serving, remove cover to darken
