Ingredients

• 2 cups dry navy beans , soaked overnight
• 0.5 pounds uncooked bacon strips
• 1 medium onion , diced
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons dry mustard

Instructions

1. 1 Transfer soaked navy beans and soaking water to a saucepan.
2. 2 Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until nearly tender, approximately 1 to 2 hours. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4. 4 Arrange 1/2 of the beans in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Place 1/2 of the bacon strips over the beans and sprinkle 1/2 of the onions over top. Repeat layers once more.
5. 5 Combine ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dry mustard in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.
6. 6 Pour sauce over the beans. Pour in just enough reserved cooking liquid to cover the beans. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook, checking every 1/2 hour or so and adding more cooking liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry, until beans are soft and tender, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 more hours.
8. 8 Serve hot and enjoy!
