Well I lucked out this weekend and got invited over to the bro-in-laws for a little party. All they requested was that I bring the beans, so I was all over it.
I got my order of Mad Hunky in Friday, so I figgered "what the Hell"? might as well give it a go.
This is a real simple bean recipe that I've been using for years....first of all here's what went in them.
Sorry...it's early...missing from the pic are powdered mustard and brown sugar.
First I like to put the beans on a baking sheet and sort them over...nothing worse than breaking a tooth on a pebble that looked like a bean.
Then I cover them with filtered water about 3 inches over the beans and bring them to a boil for 1 minute. Then cover the beans and take them off the heat....let them sit for 1 hour.
After that hour, bring them back to a boil and then simmer until tender (usually around 30 minutes).....then drain the beans, but reserve the cooking liquid.
While the beans are simmering, I chop up my homemade bacon , onions, and chourico
Then I add my seasonings...3/4 cup molasses, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbsp Mad Hunky salt-free rub (I thought there was enough salt in the bacon) 1 tsp powdered mustard. Toss those ingredients together with the beans, and add the reserved liquid to just cover them. Cover tightly and put in a 275°-300° over for 5-7 hours, depending on how you like them.
Obviously you're going to want to stir them occasionally and monitor the water content, adding more if necessary and do an occasional taste test....you'll know when they're ready.
Here they are set out at the party
I don't want to say they were good, but this was all that was left out of two pansful. The Hunky was a nice touch...stayed in the background for the most part, but added a little zip to the dish that all seemed to approve of.
Good stuff Rich...I can't wait to play around with the whang rub.

I have used the rub in beans... but I just usually Dr up canned ones. Sometimes going so far as to quick rinse them thru a strainer to remove most of the "factory" sauce...and build my own.
