If mix is a little dry add ketchup 1/4 cup at a time till moist.
pour into 12" x 9" foil bakeing pan.
You can smoke these beans on a smoker .
220deg - 250deg smoker for 2 1/2 to 3 hrs.
If you smoke ,make sure the beans reach an internal temp. of at least 160 deg.
or you can cook in 350 deg. oven for 1 hr.
I usually do a double batch in a foil turkey roasting pan and freeze a bunch.
The beans freeze well and only improve in taste. freeze in 1 qt. ziplock bags and thaw in microwave.
NOTE: Dutch is a yankee and you may want to kick em up a bit?
