Spicy Maple Baked Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb dried navy beans or 1 lb other small dried white bean
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 lb bacon, cut up (a good use for the cheaper ends and pieces, if available in your market)
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or other hot sauce, to taste)
salt and pepper
water

Preparation

Soak beans overnight in 6C water, or boil 2 minutes to soften and let soak 1 hour while prepping other ingredients. Drain beans.
Mix all in crockpot/casserole, adding enough water to cover, plus about 4 inches extra. Check pot halfway through and add more water if dry. If you won't be home, just start out with more water; you can cook it off during the final hour. When removing cover for the last hour, taste and adjust seasonings.
