1 c. navy beans
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. light molasses
1 t. dry mustard
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 lb. bacon, cut in chunks
Soak beans overnight or use fast method. Simmer till tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserve liquid. I used canned white beans, also called great northern beans, so I skipped these three steps. I drained and rinsed the beans. In baking dish add beans and remaining ingredients. Add 2 c. of bean liquid. I used water. Mix well. Cover. Bake 300 degrees for 5-7 hours. Add more liquid if needed. Serves 8.
Rinsing and draining the bean juice reduces the amount of gas the beans cause, excellent recipe!
