Slow Cooker Baked Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups dried navy beans, soaked overnight in
3 cups water
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili paste (if unavailable, substitute 1 tsp. chili powder)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
5 slices bacon

Preparation

Put the beans to soak in the centre crock of the slow cooker overnight.
In the morning, turn the slow cooker to high.
Chop the onion and add it to the crock as you chop.
Add, in order, the salt, pepper, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, molasses, ketchup, chili paste and maple syrup.
Stir until well combined.
Lay the bacon on top and cover with the lid.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 7 hours. (Check the progress of the beans about half way through - you may have to turn the heat back up to high.).
