Old Fashioned Baked Beans

Submitted by Eldeevee

"I usually increase the brown sugar to about 3/4 cup and double the molasses to sweeten the beans up and I omit the bacon/pork. I cook the beans and then throw everything in the crock pot to cook for 8-10 hours on high. This recipe comes from the package of Thompson White Beans."
