Rendezvous BBQ Beans,Memphis,TN

I have never fixed these beans,but this is a recipe that was around Memphis 30 years ago.

A reader of our forum emailed me and requested it.

Rendezvous BBQ Beans
  • 1 lb. pinto beans,soaked and drained
  • 1 ham hock or 1/2 lb..lean slab bacon,chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion,chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 heaping tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp crushed dried red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 piece fresh ginger,grated
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 Tbsp each of cider vinegar and molasses
  • 2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • salt to taste,added late
  • crumbled bacon,optional,added late



Place all except salt and crumbled bacon in a 4 qt. baking dish with water to cover about an inch.You may have to add water during the cooking.

Bake in a preheated oven @325�until beans are tender and creamy.

Add water as needed.

Taste for seasoning when beans become tender and salt as needed.

Add crumbled bacon near the end.
