Almost Homemade Baked Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 lb. salt pork, cubed
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 c. tomato puree
2 Tbsp. molasses
1/4 c. water
1 medium sized onion, chopped
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 cans navy or Great Northern beans, drained (15 oz. cans)

Preparation

In a heavy-duty 4-quart pot, lightly brown the salt pork.
Add the chopped onion and fry until clear.
Add mustard, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and tomato puree.
Stir well and simmer about 5 minutes.
Add the drained beans, stirring gently to avoid breaking or mashing them.
Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.
(I sometimes use a bean pot in microwave, 15 minutes on High.)
