My dad did them in a "bean hole" dug in the beach sand. Dig a big hole, build a big fire using hard wood in the hole and when it burns down to coals and small flames put the bean pot in wrapped in foil and cover it all with the sand and leave there all day. Dig it up at supper time and the beans are done perfect.

And of course macaroni and cheese covered with fresh tomato slices and bread crumbs.
Yum! This made my mouth water and I had lunch less than an hour ago!
