From "The All-American Cowboy Cookbook"



List of Ingredients



• 2 pounds white beans, soaked overnight
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  
• ½ pound salt pork or bacon pieces
  
• 2/3 cup molasses
  
• 2 tsp dry mustard
  
• 3 tsp salt
  
• ½ tsp pepper
  






Instructions



1. Cook beans in ample water with baking soda for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
   
   
2. Place onion in the bottom of a 3-quart casserole dish. Layer half the meat, then half the beans, then the rest of the meat and, finally, the remaining beans. Mix molasses, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over beans. Add enough water to barely cover. Do not stir.
   
   
3. Bake at 300° for 6 hours. After a couple of hours, stir and check beans. You may need to add more water, but do not make the beans too wet.
