Have You Ever Eaten Bean Hole Baked Beans??????
Have you ever eaten real bean hole beans? These are beans cooked in a hole in the ground and they will be a feature of the Mussel Ridge Historical Society’s annual Owl’s Head Community Pot Luck Picnic on Sunday July 24th, from Noon to 3pm at the Old Homestead. Maynard Stanley will be cooking the beans and we hope to show you pictures of the process, including the hole being dug by David Hynes and the rest of the preparations for the bake.
This is an old-fashioned community picnic with children’s & adult’s games, live Bluegrass music, craft demonstrations & great conversations with old and new friends. Everyone is welcome and the event is free although donations will be gratefully accepted.
The MRHS will also provide hot dogs, drinks and ice cream cranked at the picnic. Since it is a potluck, everyone attending is asked to bring a salad, casserole, side dish, appetizer or dessert to share. If you have the recipe for what you bring and a story that goes with it, we would love to have you bring it so we can include it in our cookbook.

BEAN HOLE BEANS | Cold Splinters
1. Dig a hole 3 feet deep, and wide enough to leave 6 inches around your pot on all sides. Line the hole with stones prior to starting the fire.
2. Build fire in the hole with dry hardwood, and keep it going for 3+ hours, until the hole is 3/4 full with hot coals.
3. Once the fire is about an hour old, prep pot by boiling beans for 45 minutes until their skins begin to peel back.
4. When fire is ready, line the bottom of the bean pot with thin strips of salt pork. Peel and cut the onions in half, and place them on top of the pork. Pour the beans on top into the pot, and mix in the molasses, black pepper, and dry mustard. Slice the butter and place on top, and then add enough boiling water to cover the lot of it by an inch. Cover it all with aluminum foil, and then place on the lid of the bean pot.
5. Remove 1/3 of the coals with a shovel, lower the pot into the hole, fill in the sides and top with coals, and then cover it all with dirt. You should end up with about 2 feet of dirt on top.
6. Let the beans stew overnight, dig ‘em out the next morning, and enjoy.
NOTE: This recipe can be mimicked in a crock pot, but who’s doing that anyways.
