How Do You Make Boston Baked Beans?
• In a large pot, cover beans with cold water and let sit overnight. • In the morning, bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for about one hour. • Drain beans, reserving cooking water. • Place beans in a large crock or covered casserole. • Combine the mustard, salt, pepper, onion, sugar, molasses, and ketchup with one cup of the reserved water. • Pour over the beans and add more water if necessary to cover. • Stir in the bacon pieces. • Cover the crock and bake at 250F for 6 – 8 hours.
