Recipe by frodo: Boston Baked Beans

A very good dish. I was confused on when the bacon is mixed in with the beans.

Maybe I can get a picture on it a little later.

After finding this recipe, I found two more that I'm going to have to try.

Points, I read Frodo's recipe. Most of his recipes come out great but you have to do a little interpretation as his instructions leave a little to be desired.

I have made beans very similar to this before..

You start by rendering 1/4 lb bacon or salt pork to get some fat in the pan I would chopped them. (His recipe is not to clear there)

Add your onions when the bacon is almost done.

The "strips" of bacon are laid on top during the last 1 hour of cooking. I usually use enough strips to pretty much cover the beans. Besides the flavor it helps keep the beans from drying out while the pot is uncovered.

So you say it's two different courses of bacon?

I did snip up the bacon and use the renderings to saute the onion. But then added the beans and water over top of the bacon and onion.

I can do that. The recipe turned out well and a little more snipped bacon on top for the last hour of cooking could turn out quite well.

Hi Points .. Yes you did good. Frodo called for partially cooked bacon strips on the top.
You could Micro them for a minute or so then just lay them on top. You will have one nice looking pot of beans there.... Good to know the recipes worked.... ;-)~

Points.. Yes, I read his recipe as two courses of bacon. As he said in the recipe... Some people like to use salt pork for the onions. I would still use bacon on top though.....
