Big Party Beans Recipe

Serves 12 to 14. This is a great party dish that will be enjoyed by all your guests. Great for picnics because it can be served hot or cold.
Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can chick peas
1 15-oz. can baked beans
1 15-oz. can kidney beans
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups cubed ham
Salt and pepper
1 T. curry powder
1 T. mustard powder
3 T. molasses or brown sugar
1 cup canned tomatoes
4 strips salt pork

Procedure:
Mix together all ingredients except salt pork in a large casserole. Lay the salt pork over the top. Cover and cook slowly in a preheated 300 degree oven for two hours. If the beans become at all dry, baste with a little juice drained from the tomatoes or with V-8 juice, heating the juice first. Serve hot or cold. Instead of ham, brown pork sausages first and drain off the grease.
