Hi Ben,

Back in the mid 70s to early 80s we lived down on the coast of NC, the
town of Swansboro (between Jacksonville and Morehead City). We weren't
making a lot of money so did a lot of cooking on the cheap--soy and
other beans, pasta, etc. Steve was on the town vlunteer fire department
so one year for the Christmas time family pot luck I made a crock pot
full of "baked" soy beans. This was in the time when soy beans were
considered more as animal feed but the crock pot came home empty. One of
the town police officers stopped at the fire department for supper, took
some of the beans. He complimented Steve on the beans, then asked what
kind of beans we'd used--was quite surprised to find out that it was soy
beans.

Basically, I soaked dry soy beans, then cooked them with some bacon or
salt pork, molasses, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, canned tomatoes and
onion. After cooking all day on low in the crock pot they were nice and
tender. I've since done it with other beans over the years & various
places we've lived and usually came home with an empty crock pot.
