Ingredients:
Serves 6
- 2 cups navy beans
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions:
- Soak
beans overnight in cold water. Simmer the beans in the same water until
tender, approximately 1 to 2 hours. Drain and reserve the liquid.
- Preheat
oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Arrange
the beans in a 2 quart bean pot or casserole dish by placing a portion of
the beans in the bottom of dish, and layering them with bacon and onion.
- In a
saucepan, combine molasses, salt, pepper, dry mustard, ketchup,
Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour
over beans. Pour in just enough of the reserved bean water to cover the
beans. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake
for 3 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until beans are tender. Remove the
lid about halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to
prevent the beans from getting too dry.
