Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. of Navy Beans
  • 1 Tbsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Dry Mustard
  • 1/2 cup of Molasses
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 2 Tbsp. of Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. of Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp of Maple Syrup
  • 1 Cup of Ketchup
  • Pinch of Pepper
  • 1/2 lb. of Bacon

Instructions
 

  • Soak the beans overnight in a large pot. The next day, drain and rinse them. Refill the pot with fresh water, add ½ tsp. of baking soda, and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse the beans again, then return them to the pot and boil once more until the skins begin to lift slightly.
  • Drain the beans, reserving the cooking water, and transfer them to a Dutch oven or roasting pan.
  • Add all ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Bake at 250°F, stirring occasionally and adding reserved water as needed. Bake for 5 to 6 hours, until the beans are tender and full of flavour.
