Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 1 pound dry navy beans 6 cups water 1 pinch baking soda 1 bay leaf 6 strips bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 yellow onion, diced ⅓ cup molasses ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1 ½ teaspoons salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste Directions Place navy beans in a large bowl and cover with several inches cool water; let soak overnight. Drain beans; place in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with 6 cups water, baking soda, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and boil for 10 minutes. Drain; save bean-cooking liquid. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place beans in a clean Dutch oven; add bacon, onion, molasses, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper. Pour in enough hot reserved bean-cooking liquid to cover beans; stir. Cover Dutch oven; bake in the preheated oven 1 hour. Check liquid level; add more reserved bean-cooking liquid to cover beans. Return to oven; continue baking until beans tender and almost all liquid absorbed, about 1 hour. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover beans; continue baking until top develops a flavorful crust, 20 to 30 minutes more. I Made It Print 219 home cooks made it!
