Ingredients

2 pounds Navy beans, soaked for 6-12 hours, drained and rinsed

2 mediums Onions, finely chopped

cup Catsup, I use smoky BBQ sauce

cup Unsulphured molasses

6 tablespoons Tamari, (soy sauce)

6 tablespoons Pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons Dry mustard

2 teaspoons Salt

Preparation

This is my fav - from John Robbins book _May All Be Fed_. I made some changes and doubled the recipe.

Put everything in a crockpot, adding water to cover and cook on High for 5-6 hours. They get very thick cooked this way.

Can also be baked covered in an oven @ 300 F. for 1 1/2 hours*after*

Simmering the beans in water for 45 min to 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and place in large baking dish, add all other ingredients plus enough of the cooking liquid to barely cover the beans.

These are good. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of Bacos while cooking in the crockpot. If you find these too sweet, just cut down on the sweeteners.
