I thought this looked interesting. I have never made Baked Beans ‘from scratch’. This is from an old vintage cookbook titled ‘North Dakota Food is Love’.
Ingredients:
- 4 c dried navy beans, un cooked and rinsed
- 8 c water
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1/2 pound dice bacon
- 2 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 pepper
- 4 Tbsp molasses
- 1/4 c ketchup
- 1 small minced onion
Mix all together in a 4-quart crock-pot and bake all night on low (8 hours). In the morning, turn on high for 3 to 4 hours. They should be ready to go by noon.
They end the recipe with ‘These are very good’
