1/8 teaspoon Pepper

occasionally. Add this mixture, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to mashed
beans. Mix with a fork. Use as a sandwich filling or as a dip.

Soaking beans: To soak overnight, put beans in twice their volume of cold
water and soak overnight. Or put beans in a pan and pour boiling water to
fully cover and allow to stand for one hour. Drain beans before using.
