  • ½ to 1 lb bacon, fried and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp coarse pepper
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Method

Fry and chop bacon Saute onion in 1 Tbsp bacon grease. Combine all and put in a crockpot for 3 to 4 hours (Not more, do not let beans get too soft!) Or bake at 350º for one hour and take the top off the last part of the cooking process.

To make with Kielbasa or Johnsonville bratwurst: Simmer in beer with lots of sliced onions then grill then put back in the pan to serve.
