One of my favorite's from Childhood.......Can't find my personal recipe...... but here is one for Boston baked beans...Combine with some "Red" hot dogs,rolls, and cole slaw. One of my favorite "Comfort food" meals hands down... We call it Sat. Night Beans in our house. Boston Baked Beans Ingredients: •2 cups yellow eye Maine beans •1 white onion, quartered •1/2 cup brown sugar •1/2 cup molasses •1/2 teaspoon salt •Pepper, to taste •1 teaspoon prepared mustard •1/2 teaspoon ground ginger •Chunk of salt pork, 2″ x 2″ (or as much as you’d like) Cover dry beans in liquid, and soak overnight in large bowl. Place onion in bottom of bean pot, drain beans, and add to pot. Mix brown sugar, molasses, salt, pepper, mustard, and ginger with a little hot water, and pour over beans. Add enough hot water to cover beans. Place chunk of salt pork on top. Cover pot, and bake at 325 degrees for six hour. Check often, adding water as needed so that beans remain covered. Remove cover for last hour of cooking

"Red" hot dogs

You must have grown up in Maine, that's the only place I've seen those - and I agree - they are great!

Baked Beans, Hot Dogs and Canned Brown Bread was my Mother's standard Saturday meal, and we all looked forward to it every week...and Friday was Fish... we weren't even Catholic :>)

I’m making Boston baked beans tomorrow! Glad I saw your recipe.

I was raised eating the canned variety (B&M brand, with B&M Brown Bread straight from the can). However, the homemade version is heavenly.

You need to have a six-hour commitment to keep an eye on that slow oven.
