Old Fashioned Baked Beans

This is a recipe my mother in law gave me. Her mom used to make beans every Saturday night for dinner. You can bake them for the 3-4 hours as listed, but I usually just let them bake longer from late morning until dinner time.

• Ready In: 4 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb dried navy beans
• 1⁄4 lb salt pork, cut up
• 1  cup onion, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup molasses
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Pick out stones, then soak beans over night.
2. Drain beans. Place in large pot with fresh water. Boil until they are tender- about 1 hour. Drain.
3. Mix all of the ingredients in bean pot, stir in beans gently. Cover with water.
4. Cover pot and bake in 350 oven for 3-4 hours until the consistency you like.
5. If you want to bake them all day but they start looking thick you can add a little more water.
