granny smith's old-fashioned baked beans
(1 rating)
Here's the recipe I was searching for. I'ts been years since I made it, but it's made exactly like the way Laura Ingalls described her mother doing it in the "Little House" books. It starts from scratch, and is made in a dutch oven. Can be made over a fire if your dutch oven has legs, and you watch it really close. This can also be done without the salt pork for a great vegetarian dish. Add a little Liquid Smoke for flavoring.
