Recipe

• 1 heat the oven to 250°. put the lamb and beans, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, molasses, and pickle juice in a large bowl and mix well (if making half the recipe this can be done right in your 2-quart bean pot). divide mixture between two 2-quart bean pots, or put it all in one 4-quart bean pot.
• 2 top the bean mixture with the chopped onion and the bacon. bake, uncovered, until the bacon is crisp and the beans are hot and bubbling, about 4 hours. increase the temperature of the oven to 350° and bake for another hour. remove the pots from the oven and allow the beans to cool slightly. stir the onions and bacon into the beans before serving.
