List of Ingredients
- 1 pound navy beans
- 1/2 pound bacon ends
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Long cooking develops the wonderful old fashioned flavor. Soak beans overnight in 6 cups water; add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda if water is hard. Parboil beans for 20 minutes. Drain beans after parboiling; rinse with cold water.
- Dice bacon ends to 10 inch square, placing half in the bottom of a 20 quart bean pot or casserole along with the quartered onion. Add beans.
- Mix remaining ingredients with hot water. Pour over top of beans. Top with remaining bacon ends. Cover and bake in a 300 degree oven for about 6 hours adding hot water as needed to keep beans moist.
- Serves 8 to 10
