Recipe
Cover beans with 2 inches of water in large saucepan; heat to boiling and boil, uncovered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 1 hour.
Add more water to beans to cover, if necessary. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 1-1/4 hours. Drain beans; reserve liquid.
Mix beans, bacon, onion, garlic, tomato paste, molasses, brown sugar, dry mustard, thyme, and salt in 1-1/2-quart casserole; add enough reserved cooking liquid to cover beans. Bake, covered, at 325 degrees F, stirring occasionally, 3 hours. Bake, uncovered, until beans are desired consistency, about 1 hour more.
