So I went through several baked beans recipes, taking what I liked from each one, and put this together. This is a work in progress (and a bit of a shopping list) and I will post the final ingredients later. 1 pound dry great northern, navy, or pink beans 1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup molasses 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1 bay leaf 1 ham bone Steps 1. Place beans in container, cover with several inches of cool water, let stand for 8 hours. 2. Place beans in large sauce pan with 4 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover, simmmer for 1 hour 3. Preheat oven to 375F 4. After simmering for 1 hour, drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Pour beans into a 1 1/2 qaurt casserole dish and stir in everything. Stir in enough reserved cooking liquid that sauce covers the beans by 1/4 inch. Cover and bake in preheated over for 10 mninutes, then reduce heat to 200F and cook for 6 hours longer, stirring every 3 hours. Once the gbeans are tender and the sauce reduced and is sticy, remove from oven. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes before eating. |

Oh man! Ok, the beans turned out wonderfully... but you might ask yourself why I am posting about them at 2am! Well, I must have added a bit too much water to the pot and it took until 1:30am to finish cooking down! So these beans cooked for 13.5 hours! On to the topic of ketchup. The reason why I used 1/4 cup spicy red duck ketchup was because I ran out of regular ketchup.. but it REALLY makes the beans good. It adds a VERY low level of heat to them that perfectly goes with the sweet. The recipe seems to have made about 2 quarts of beans. I put them into a large tupperware container and put them in the fridge (after having a small bowl to try them out.) Boojum |

There are people adding spice to ketchup! This would only be tolerated under a Trump White House! Just another indication that the Centre cannot hold and the world will perish in Fire and Flame! Spicy, spicy flame. |

If this is the case, then SOME of us will understand the ways things should have BEAN[s]. |
