This is very close to a recipe my mother used to make -- she didn't add onion and always chucked raw bacon into the beans before cooking. Your version is divine. I followed your instructions, except that I used straight beans -- not pork and beans. Also, Australian bacon doesn't yield much grease, so I had to add some oil to cook the onion. Made and enjoyed for Pick a Chef.

I'm a retired teacher, now, whose children have grown up, and abandoned me! ? Rather than cooking huge portions, I'm on the hunt for cooking-for-one ideas, or meals that can be tweaked, to make eating leftovers more varied and exciting. I have a pressure cooker, which I love, and I've been making yogurt, eggs, ribs, etc, in that. I still love to cook, and read (and, pin) recipes; but, my focus has changed, from when I first joined this site, in 2007.
