Ingredients:

1 pound great northern or small

2 pounds mixed beans - great northerns -- white beans romans -- and random mix.

1 teaspoon salt -- (omitted)

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon black pepper from a bottle

1 dash hot sauce

1 teaspoon hot chili -- (heaping)

----condiment

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 1/2 cups coarse chopped onion

1/4 cup molasses or honey

1/2 cup honey -- (scant)

1/4 cup brown sugar

8 teaspoons white sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup white vinegar

Preparation / Directions:

Presoak beans. Drain. Combine dry ingredients and mix with beans; stir in other ingredients. Pour into 1 1/2 qt. or 2 qt. baking dish or bean pot. [Obviously, if you double the recipe like I did, you'll need a bigger pot :-] Pour in boiling water to cover. Cover. Bake at 300 degrees for 6 hours; add a bit of boiling water if needed. (Crock-pot method: cook on low 8-10 hours.) Comments: I just dumped everything on top of the beans and stirred them; then covered them with hot tap water. They took a lot longer than 10 hours to cook, but that might have been due to too-low heat on the crockpot. (Also, reportedly vinegar and other acid substances need to be added at the end of cooking else they'll make the beans tough.) These beans were *really* good. The caramelized onions were even better. I've enjoyed the beans plain, with barbecue sauce, and with spinach and corn
