Steps:
- Soak 2 pounds of yellow-eye beans overnight.
- Parboil beans until the skin peels away by blowing on a few beans in a spoon.
- Add the mix to the beans and stir slightly.
- Slice 1 pound salt pork into sections.
- Cut each section partly through in a criss-cross pattern and place pieces on top of the beans.
- Cover the beans and set to one side.
- The bean hole should be dug into the ground and be half again as large as your dutch oven or any other tightly lidded pot.
- Using seasoned hard wood, accumulate live coals until hole is 3/4 full.
- Shovel out the coals leaving about 3 inches of live coals in the bottom of the hole.
- Set the bean pot in the hole on top of the 3 inch bed of coals.
- Shovel the rest of the coals around and on top of the pot.
- Cover with dirt and check for escaping steam and making sure none is leaking out.
- If steam is leaking out, cover area with more dirt.
- Leave in the ground for 8 hours or overnight.
- Note: Make sure the beans are completely covered with hot water before putting in ground.
- The beans need to go into the ground hot.

Steps:
- The bean hole should be 2 1/2 to 3 feet deep, depending on your pot. The hole should be big enough around to have a 6 inch space between the pot and the edge of the hole on all sides. To help hold heat, put some old tire chains or stones in the hole before starting the fire.
- Start the fire and keep it filled with good dry hardwood. Let it burn for about 3 hours. The hole should be at least 3/4 full of hot coals. After the fire has been going for about an hour, place the beans in a large pot, on the stove with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until skins roll back when you blow on them, about 45 minutes. Watch closely, because they will get mushy if left too long.
- When the hole is ready, cut the salt pork in to 2 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick slices. Place them into the bottom of the bean pot. Peel and cut the onions in half; lay them on top of the pork. Pour the beans and their liquid into the pot, then mix in the molasses, black pepper and dry mustard. Slice butter and place on top. Add enough boiling water to cover the beans by one inch. Cover the top of the pot tightly with aluminum foil so that it goes down over the sides by at least 2 inches. Place lid onto bean pot.
- Before putting the pot into the hole, remove about 1/3 of the coals using a shovel. Remove and discard any burning pieces of wood. Place the bean pot into the hole, and put the coals from the hole back in around the sides and over the top of the bean pot. Now start filling the hole in with the dirt, packing it down with your feet as you go. You should end up with about 2 feet of dirt covering the pot. Cover the place where the beans are buried with a tarp or piece of metal to keep out rain.
- Let the beans stew overnight in their bean hole. Carefully dig them out the next day and enjoy!

OVEN BAKED BEAN HOLE BEANS
This is a recipe similar to the one my mother used to make when she wanted long cooked baked beans. In Maine they actually dig a big hole and fill it with coals from a fire and then set the pot in the hole and cover it with more coals and dirt for 6-8 hours or overnight. Cooked Low and slow is the way to go.

Steps:
- Soak beans overnight. Drain and place into large 6 qt or more Dutch oven or heavy roaster. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Add sufficient water to cover the beans by at least 1 - 1 1/2 inches and stir well.
- Place covered Dutch oven in preheated 250 degree oven and bake for 6-8 hours. Check periodically to see if they need more liquid and to see if the beans are done to your liking (after at least three to four hours). Continue to cook til the beans are soft but not falling apart.
- If they are too liquidy, remove cover and bake for about 30 minutes. If too dry, stir in a little water and let absorb.
- Serve with your favorite picnic foods like fried chicken and coleslaw and buttered bread.
