Ingredients
2 cups navy beans 1/2 pound bacon 1 onion, finely diced 1/4 c. molasses 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tbsp mustard 3 tbsp ketchup 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 Maple Syrup
Directions
Makes 12, 1/2 cup servings.

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 slow cooker 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. Cook on low.

Cook for 4-6 hours. Remove the lid about halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry.

    I really enjoyed these and I was glad to make them in the slow cooker rather than the oven. I did find them a little sweet. I don't think I'd use ketchup the next time-maybe tomato paste. - 5/28/09

    I had to cook the beans on high for a longer period of time. I think next time I would bake them in the oven. I used the maple syrup instead of brown sugar. - 2/25/09
