Trick Beans

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

A novel go-with:
I have tried variations of this recipe four times now. This is my refined
version. It tastes a LOT better than the simple ingredients might suggest.
No vinegar (acid), no salt, we are going to go for texture here, directly.
Wooster Bacon: After you turn the unseparated bacon slices a couple times
over VERY low heat, it gets less white looking and the slices start sliding
apart, drain and return to the fire. Sprinkle generously with
Worcestershire, say a tbsp per 1/4 lb.
Turn after while. (we're trying to keep it from curling all up) and drain
again. The trick is to not french fry the bacon in it's own fat, but cook
it gently. Next time you turn it, drain and sprinkle with Worcestershire
again. Turn the individual slices a few times more and when done, drain on
newspaper. (If people are drawn by the smell of your Woostered Bacon, start
with more, it does have an irresistible odor.)
Start The Beans: I cooked the whole mess on top the stove at low heat and
let it thicken. Then I poured a cup of water over it, and put the (straight
sided) sauce pan with the heatproof handle in a 250F oven for 4 hours. I
had to add water to keep em covered, and put it back in for a couple more
hours. Then I covered em with the sauce pan lid and turned the oven off.
After my nap, I took the almost room temp beans, pot, cover and all out of
the cold oven, straight into the fridge.
These will now need salt. I use popcorn salt because it's so fine it
dissolves readily in the sauce with the beans, so you can taste. Then I
pureed em in the Vita Mix, to the texture of "re-fried beans." I served em
at room temp.
I smiled mysteriously at those who asked. "What's in here? This stuff is
delicious." (Don't you just love it when you pull something off?)
