Mur's Baked Beans
(Shared by Don Drane)
Here's my grandmother's baked bean recipe. She'd be 110, if alive. Naturally, divide this by 1/4 for a reg'lar family size.
Four quarts (1Gal.) Campbell's Pork 'N' Beans (Use no other)
3 16 oz. boxes Domino Dark Brown Sugar
2 Large White Onions, chipped and cubed
1 Lb. Bryan, thin sliced Bacon
2 Large Bell Peppers, seeds removed, of course
Drain beans, dispose of liquid (serve to dog or guests out back).
Fry bacon medium crisp, drain on paper towels, cool and chop up. Save grease.
Mince onion with knife.
Slice and cube bell peppers into small chips.
Combine all ingredients in large boiling pot (bigger'n a gallon!) or Dutch oven, stirring in bacon grease.
Cover, bake in preheated 325 degree oven for two hours.
Reduce heat to 250 degrees, stir well, ensuring soupy consistency.
Maintain 250 degrees for 1 hour. Stir at 30 minute interval.
Remove from oven, set aside for at least fifteen minutes, stir, serve.
Remind guests they are there for BBQ and these beans are not the main course.

Here's something really simple from my Mama's kitchen.
Delicious with a sliced tomato and some of them good old
Pinto Beans.
Christine's Okra Patties
Pick small okra and slice thin.
Cover with flour mixed with water.
Salt to taste.
Fry in skillet with small amount of shortening until the flour is
browned on all sides. Just as good as Fried Green Tomatoes!
