Pork & Beans

I've been wanting to make homemade pork & beans for a while but just have neglected to get a recipe for it. The recipe I used was overall pretty tasty, however, when making it in the future I will decrease the molasses by half as it was on the sweet side.

Pork & Beans
2 C Great Northern Beans, uncooked
3 Tbsp. Salt
10 C Water
5 pieces Bacon
1/2 C Onion - chopped
1/3 C Molasses
1/3 C Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Prepared Mustard
2 Tbsp. Ketchup
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste

Bring water and salt to a boil, add in uncooked beans. Cook 1 1/2 hrs. or until done. Pour beans and 2 C of bean liquid into a container and let cool overnight.
Next day, pour beans and liquid into large pot. Cut up bacon, cook in saute pan until golden. Remove bacon and add onion to pan. Cook until done. Add the bacon, onion, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire to the beans. Cover, cook on low 2 hrs. until sauce is thickened and reduced. *Make sure to occasionally stir beans to prevent them from sticking and scorching the bottom of the pot.* Season with salt & pepper to taste.



We had our pork & beans with homemade Zucchini bread for dessert, yummy!
