DOTTIES BAKED BEANS

Dottie’s Baked Beans

Says Martha: “The recipe is an adaptation of one given to me by my friend Dottie Courington of Savannah. With half a pound of bacon and 2 cups of brown sugar, how could (they0 be anything but delicious?”

Serves 12-14

1/2 pound bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

2 large onions, chopped

1 48-ounce can pork and beans

2 cups dark brown sugar

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup prepared mustard

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons liquid smoke

1. In large Dutch oven, fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and all but 2 tablespoons of the grease. In bacon grease, fry onions until they are tender and transparent. To onions, add crumbled bacon, beans, sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire and liquid smoke.
