At the Campsite

Put beans in pot or if in RV they can be microwaved. You can cook an additional 1/2 to hour for a sticky final sauce but stir once after 30 minutes to make sure the beans are not sticking to the bottom of the pan. If microwaved use recommended time for your device, remember to cover bowl with paper towel as beans tend to pop and spatter if over microwaved. Suggest putting over open fire in vintage iron or dutch oven pot for a full camp experience.

Perfect with BBQ, hot dogs, hamburgers. Skip the bacon for vegan style.

Enjoy!
