Time 8h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups navy beans (measured prior to soaking)
1 1/4 cups water
3/4 lb bacon (sliced small)
1 medium onions (chopped) or 1 large onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (chopped or sliced)
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Soak 2 cups of bean in water over night, or in the morning. The beans must have soaked a minimum of 6 hours. For those who have never soaked beans, pour the beans in to a bowl and cover beans with water. Water should be at lease 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch above beans. This allows beans to absorb enough water with out getting dry.
Strain and pour the beans in the crockpot. Slice your bacon I use scissors if it is completely unthawed medium to thin slices. Chop onions to your preferred size I like Medium, and chop garlic. Add to the beans.
Pour water into a bowl and mix remaining ingredients in the water and stir. Pour over beans and mix well.
Cover turn on LOW and cook 8 to 10 hours. DO NOT LIFT THE LID, only when it is close to the end of cooking time. Take a test and see if you like the texture, if not cook for remainder time.
