Bean Hole Beans
Bean Hole Beans are cooked the way log drivers and lumber men
did it. A hole is dug, sometimes lined with rocks, and a large fire
is set and kept going for a day. When the wood burns down to
coals a cast iron pot of beans with water and spices is lowered into
the hole. The pot is then covered with canvas and the entire hole
is covered with dirt and left to cook for a day. The result is a pot of
delicious baked beans not made “in a brick oven,” as is fancied to-
day, but rather right in the ground.
