mustard in a 2-quart microwavable casserole. Stir in the onion and bacon and cover. Microwave on high 100% for 12-14 minutes,
stirring every 4 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water to make a
smooth paste and stir this into the bean mixture. Cover and microwave on high 100% for 2-3 minutes
until thickened and bubbly. Allow to stand, covered for 5 minutes before
serving.
