Old Fashioned Baked beans
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 small package navy beans
  • 4 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 scant tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. powdered mustard
  • 1/2 c. molasses
  • 1 (2 to 3 oz.) piece salt pork
  • 1 med. peeled whole onion
DIRECTIONS
  1. Soak beans overnight. In a.m. drain and replace water. Parboil 10 to 15 minutes (not longer). Place onion in crock pot. Drain beans and put on top of onion. Add flavors dissolved in 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Add enough hot water to just cover top of beans. Place salt pork on top. Cover and set crock pot on high. Bring volume of water up about every 3 hours. Cook 6-7 hours.
  2. On a side note, we add maple syrup to the mix, and season to taste, however this is good without.
