Barbecued Beans

2 C dried soybeans – soaked overnight in 6 Cups of water. (or any mild, white bean of your choice)

8 C  water

1 batch of homemade barbecue sauce (recipe follows)

¾ C  water

Drain the soybeans and discard the soaking water.

Place soybeans and 8 Cups of fresh cold water in a large stockpot.

Heat to boiling point over high heat, reduce to simmer (low) and cook for 3-4 hours until firm but tender.

Note to self: Add more water as needed to keep the soybeans from burning!

Drain the cooked soybeans. In a large mixing bowl combine beans, barbecue sauce and ¾ C. water.

Place in Crock-pot on High for 2 hours or until tender, but not scorched!

(you may baked in a 350 degree oven in a covered casserole, too)

Once the beans are tender, simply turn the Crock-pot on Low until time to eat.
