In lieu of the monster family dinner this weekend to celebrate a holiday only our mother believes in but we’re as much as forced to go along with, my brother and I decided our immediate families would do the food.<\/p>\n
He and his fiance are bringing fresh veg and potato salad, the girls and I are bringing honey-mustard ham, homemade pull-apart dinner rolls and baked beans from the recipe below.

\nMmmm. Yes, well. Lost track of my thoughts in a puddle of drool there…<\/p>\n
Slow Cooked Wild Irish Baked Beans<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n 3 slices very thick bacon (special order 1\/4″ if need be) Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n The night before, set the beans to soak in enough water to cover, replacing as needed.<\/p>\n Cut the bacon into 1\/2″ pieces, and fry until crisp, draining on a paper towel. Use a second towel to then crumble them up a bit. Set aside in a small bowl. Lightly brown the onions in the drippings, and add to the bacon.<\/p>\n Strain the beans, rinsing once or twice to remove all of the loose bits. Add them to a large slow cooker with the remaining ingredients, and give it a stir. Cook on high for 3 hours, add the bacon and onions, and cook for another 6 hours on low, stirring occasionally. Check at 10 hours total, and see if the beans are cooked; if they are not, give them a good stir and continue on low for another hour, check again, and so on.<\/p>\n If you’ve never had home-baked beans before, they are a little firmer than store bought canned, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n Good hot or cold!<\/p>\n ’til next week, if I haven’t exploded from yummy… In lieu of the monster family dinner this weekend to celebrate a holiday only our mother believes in but we’re as much as forced to go along with, my brother and I decided our immediate families would do the food.
