1 pound dried navy beans |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
4 quarts cold water, divided |
1 cup chopped red onion |
1/2 cup molasses |
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |

1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring beans, salt and 2 qt. water to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 1 hour. Drain beans and discard liquid. Return beans to pan. Cover with remaining water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving liquid.
