The salt came from the salsa.

Used Rancho Gordo King City Pink Beans. Cooked beans (from dry, no soak bc RG) on stovetop for about 3 hours with onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and no salt seasoning. Fished out the carrot and celery then used the bean broth instead of water and did not add extra onion. Added powdered red wine vinegar instead of salt. Used Oriental mustard powder instead of regular bc that's what we had. Added TJ dried New Mexico Chiles. Used brown sugar instead of white.

Delicious! But very salty. Don't know if it was the bacon I used because I used only a teaspoon of added salt. Didn't have tomatoes, so I substituted a medium salsa. I'll make this again but I think I'll add salt at the end to prevent over salting. Definitely a keeper.

What flavor! I overcooked my soldier beans to start so they're a bit mushy - don't do that. The sum of the parts is greater than the parts. I used brown sugar instead of white and added a little extra bacon. Will put some kielbasa in this for dinner.
