Baked Beans

Ingredients

• 2 pounds navy
• 1 pound bacon
• 2 large onions

Steps

1. Soak the dry beans overnight, or use 4 cans cooked beans.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Stir all ingredients together.
4. Pour into a casserole dish, bean pot or Dutch oven.
5. Add water from the beans, or preferably stock or fresh water.
6. Use just enough to barely cover.
7. Canned beans may need less water.
8. Beans will absorb more water as they cook.
9. Bake 2½ hours.
10. Check after an hour for moisture level, and add more water as needed to keep appropriate moistness.
11. If the beans have too much liquid, remove the lid and cook a bit longer.
