Portuguese Style Baked Beans

1 pound Navy white pea beans

3/4 to 1 pound linguica; Portuguese sausage

1/4 pound bacon, cut up small

16 oz can of tomatoes

2 large onions

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

salt and pepper to taste

Soak beans overnight. Preboil them the next day for around 30 minutes.

Chop onions and linguica into small pieces. Chop tomatoes. After the beans are preboiled drain and save the water.

Mix in large bowl the beans, linguica, onions, tomatoes, salt, pepper and bacon. Save a couple of strips of bacon for the top later on.

Put all this in a heavy metal pot or bean pot. Pour enough of the reserved bean water to cover the mixture.

Bake in a 350° F oven for 1 and 3/4 hours covered and then 1/2 hour uncovered. Add more bean water if beans dry out.

This sounds good myhome, but I would have to cut back on the maters 16 cans just seems like way to much. I'm not to big on eating cooked maters anyways, Ilike them in salads,on sandwiches,or just sliced but no cooked ones

I squish them all up really small with my hands or a potato masher. With everything else in this, you don't taste them and cause they're squished up so small, you don't "feel" them in your mouth. Guess you could puree them if ya got a mixer or blender too. I use the others (hands or masher) to take my aggressions, LOL

Now I wonder why mom never done this cause she was the best cook except for cooked maters so I always sit next to her so I could put them on her plate I guess it was just one of those little things between me and her maybe a bonding thing who knows but thanks myhome I will have to remember this but dont tell Cupcake cause she dont even like mater sauce she's a little differant like that though
