The Best Slow Cooker Baked Beans (Dad'S Recipe) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package dried navy beans
4 cups water, or more as needed
1/2 cup molasses

Mix 4 cups water, molasses, brown sugar, salt, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
Mix beans, salt pork, and onion together in a slow cooker. Add molasses mixture and more water to cover beans if needed; stir well.
Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
