Ingredients
1 pound dry navy beans or northern beans 1/2 of a 6 oz can tomato paste (save the rest and make juice)1 teaspoon salt 1 onion, coarsely chopped 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or 1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard)1/3 cup brown sugar 1-2 tablespoons of molasses 1-1/2 cups hot water or bean juice 4 slices of chopped natural bacon (raw bacon will yeild some grease which is calculated)
Soak beans overnight, or do a quick soak.
Simmer them on the back of the stove for 40 to 50 minutes. You want the beans to be almost soft. When they seem about done, take them off the stove. Drain off the cooking water, saving about 1-1/2 cups of it (or substitute hot tap water for the drained off bean juice). Place the beans in a casserole with a good lid. Add the tomato paste, salt, onion, dry mustard, brown sugar, and bean juice. Stir it all up so the tomato paste is dissolved. Now lay the chopped bacon over top of everything and place the lid on the casserole. Bake the beans at 300° for 5 to 7 hours.
Or if you prefer, after soaking the beans you can combine everything in a crock pot on low (about 8 hrs). Makes about 12 1/2 cup servings.
