1907 Bean Pot Recipes: Baked Beans with Peanut Butter

1907 Baked Beans with Peanut Butter
Meat Substitutes
Isabel Goodhue
1 good-sized onion
Butter
1 heaping teaspoonful peanut butter
Baked macaroni and cheese makes a good substitute for the meat dish, as do also baked beans. In baking beans without pork, place a good-sized onion in the bottom of the bean pot. The result is not a perceptible onion flavor, but a decided enriching of the beans. A goodly quantity of butter should be added to beans baked without meat. A little while before they are done; or, when the beans having the onion in the bean pot are about half done, stir through them a nut cream, made by dissolving one heaping teaspoonful of peanut butter in a little water, and add ordinary butter as well. Do not use enough nut butter to allow a peanut flavor to prevail, but enough to mellow and enrich the beans.
