Mother's Recipe Box: Grandma's Baked Beans

Mother's Recipe Box:  Grandmas's Baked Beans

• 1-2 cups dry beans from last year's pole bean crop from her garden  or 1 lb can baked beans
  

• 1 lb can butter beans

• 1 lb kidney beans

• 1/2 medium onion  (from her garden of course)
  

• 1/2 lb bacon cut in small pieces  (she prefers slab bacon)
  

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 cup molasses

• 1-2 cups beef or veggie broth (depends on type of beans you use dried or canned)  Add more if too dry.

Optional:  ketchup & dry mustard  How much?  It depends on the taste. 

I think I will have to experiment to get Grandmas' Baked Beans to measure up to the family's expectations.
