Directions: |
Directions:In a saucepan, mix brown sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, salt and coffee - simmer for 5 minutes. In a 2 quart casserole, put a layer of beans, a layer of onions and half of the simmered mixture. Repeat and then top it all with the cut up bacon. Bake at 350º about 45 minutes or so. You can vary the time to make it dryer or moister, just make sure the bacon is done.
Best served hot or very warm. They lose something in translation when cold. If you want to keep them moist while you are preparing the rest of meal, just cover tightly with foil and keep in an oven at 200º. |

Notes: These are stupendously good! A side dish for a cookout or main dish (as long as no one is looking), depending on how hungry you are. You can substitute other styles of baked beans for variation, but the original style baked beans work just great. This recipe is from a lady in Athens, Georgia, where I lived for eleven years and learned to love grits, collards, and polk salad served by my southern spouse. I also learned that a little fatback can make any horrible thing taste good.
