Baked beans

An obvious classic for people with trouble eating! Beans are a great source of iron, protein, and fibre.

Baked beans

Ingredients:

2 cups white kidney beans
¼ cup molasses
½ cup chopped onion, sauteed in olive oil
½ tsp mustard powder

Instructions:

Put all ingredients in dutch oven. Cover with cold water to about 2" above the level of the beans. 

Bake at 250°-300°F for about 12 hours. Check periodically to make sure they aren't cooking too hard or drying out; add water as necessary.

  1. Another interesting recipe. Yes, the beans are an important source of proteins. Good for the runners.
