Arietta Stowell'S Baked Beans(Modified For No Cholesterol) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1 lb.) bag Great Northern beans
onion to taste, chopped
1/2 c. bacon bits
1 c. white sugar
1 Tbsp. mustard
1 Tbsp. molasses
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Sort beans (for hard ones, stones, etc.) as usual.
Fill a large kettle at least 1/2 full of water.
Add beans; bring to a quick boil.
Turn off the heat; let them sit in liquid 1 to 1 1/2 hours (they can sit overnight in a cool place, if desired).
Drain off and reserve liquid.
Leave just enough to cover the beans. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Place in covered casserole dish.
Bake for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 325\u00b0.
Watch carefully to be sure beans don't boil over (lid can be \"tipped\" to prevent making a mess in your oven).
Bake until beans are tender (easy to mash), adding reserved liquid as needed to keep beans covered.
