Home-Made Pork & Beans

• Soak 3 cups of white beans over night. I switch it up with navy beans also.
• Rinse and drain in the morning
• Cover with cold water and boil for 15 minutes.
• Drain
• Drain again and put beans in earthenware bean pot or crock pot.

Add:

1. 1/2 pound sliced bacon and mix between the beans, bottom, middle and top.
2. 1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
3. 2 sliced onions
4. 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
5. 1 Tbsp. salt
6. 2 Tbsp. molasses
7. 1 Tbsp. ketchup
8. 1 tsp. ginger

Cover with fresh water (boiling) and bake with cover on for 4-5 hours in slow oven (275 - 300 degrees). Long and slow baking is the secret to good baked beans.
