Baked Beans

New years day my family and I had a quiet day and a simple dinner. I made my waldorf salad (minus the turkey/chicken), a small baked ham it was a vermont style ham that I baked in the oven for 85 minutes at 325-350 degrees in a baking dish with a little over a 1/4 cup of water and about 1/4 cup of maple syrup...I covered the ham with foil, and baked beans. Here's the recipe for the baked beans (I made them without the bacon, then my vegetarian sister could eat them)...

Baked Beans

1 pkg white beans
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp molasses
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tins tomato soup
1 onion, chopped
4 slices bacon, thick sliced

Soak the beans overnight. Drain and rinse, then boil beans for 2 hours with enough water to cover. Rinse beans. In a slow cooker, mix 3 cups of beans with the remaining ingredients. Bake in slow cooker for 5-6 hours (depending on the beans it may take an extra hour).

Note: one package of white beans can make up to 6 cups of beans, so you can double the rest of the recipe or freeze 3 cups of beans (after the boiling) for later use...
