Servings: 8

Ingredients

1 pound small dried navy or pea beans, picked over and rinsed.

4 ounces lean bacon strips, cooked and drained.

3/4 cup bottle barbecue sauce ( I like Masterpiece original)

1/4 cup dark molasses

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
                   
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Combine bean in 7 cups water in large saucepan.  Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes.  Remove from heat, cover and let soak 1 hour.
                   
Bring undrained beans slowly to boil over medium-high heat;  this should take about 25 minute. 

Simmer until firm-tender, about 15 minutes. 
Drain, reserving 2 cups liquid.
                   
Heat oven to 300 degrees. 
                   
Stir beans together with reserved liquid, barbecue sauce, molasses, sugar, vinegar, mustard and salt in large bowl.
                   
Scrape into 2 1/2 quart baking casserole dish or bean pot.
                   
Place bacon on top.  Cover.  Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours or until beans are tender.

Add water, if necessary to keep beans just covered with water. 

Serve warm.
