I have one of those elec. bean pots. I bought it just before I got married as my dh is nuts about beans. I don't have the recipe book handy but do know that you can put the beans in with water, put on the heating element and cook all nite. Mine only has the one setting. In the morning before going to work you add brown sugar, molasses, salt and pepper, a little bacon, (raw, it cooks with beans), a little mustard, and some onion. Stir it all up and recover it and let it cook til you want to eat it that evening. I generally skip the nite time part and cook on stove for a couple of hours to soften up and the put all in the bean pot.

I have used this recipe several times with great success. A few have said they were the best baked beans they'd ever had. Linda

AMISH BAKED BEANS
1 lb. navy beans
1/2 lb. bacon ends
1 med. onion (quartered)
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. molasses
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 c. hot water
Long cooking develops the wonderful old-fashioned flavor. Soak beans overnight in 6 cups water; add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda if water is hard. Parboil beans for 20 minutes. Drain beans after parboiling; rinse with cold water. Dice bacon ends to 1 inch square, placing half in the bottom of a 2 quart bean pot or casserole along with the quartered onion. Add beans. Mix remaining ingredients with hot water. Pour over top of beans. Top with remaining bacon ends. Cover and bake in a slow (300 degree) oven for about 6 hours adding hot water as needed to keep beans moist. Serves 8 to 10.
