Baked Beans

A favorite in our house, and a great way to warm the house with the oven on! Smell's SOOO yummy

1 pk of beans
1 onion
1/3 cup of Molasses
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp dry Mustard
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 stick of butter


Soak beans overnight in your bean pot ~ you'll want to fill it with water pretty much to the top.
The next morning add onion, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, salt & pepper. Stir. Put in a 250* oven for 7-8 hours. During the last half hour to hour add in your butter. This replaces the need for bacon or any other pork/fat product. You'll want to refrain from opening your bean pot often, as that will let more the water escape than necessary. If you notice your beans starting to go dry add a little bit of water, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Serve with pickles, homemade bread, cornbread, traditional Maine Red Hotdogs, or Ham. Our family likes it with just homemade bread and some squirts of ketchup!
