- 1 quart navy beans
- 1/2 lbs salt pork
- 1/2 tbsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 onion
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place 1 quart of navy beans in a large bowl, cover with cold water by at least 2 inches, and soak overnight at room temperature.
-
Step 2.
Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse briefly with fresh water.
-
Step 3.
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
-
Step 4.
In a large oven-safe pot or casserole dish (at least 3-quart capacity), combine the drained beans, ½ pound salt pork (cut into 1-inch cubes), ½ tablespoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons molasses, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 onion (peeled and left whole or roughly chopped).
-
Step 5.
Add enough cold water to cover the beans by about 1 inch, then stir to combine all ingredients.
-
Step 6.
Cover the pot or casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil, and place in the preheated oven.
-
Step 7.
Bake for 8 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the beans remain covered with liquid; add a little hot water if needed. The beans should be tender and the sauce thick and syrupy when done.
-
Step 8.
Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with brown bread and coleslaw.
