This recipe was given to me by my Aunt Joan, who got it from her neighbor. It is deceptively simple, but so good. I just took it to a potluck and got rave reviews: 'These beans are awesome!'

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds dry kidney beans, soaked overnight
1 pound bacon, diced
1 cup brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place beans in a Dutch oven or large casserole dish. Mix in bacon, brown sugar, and onion; season with salt and pepper. Add just enough water to barely cover the beans.
Cover, and bake for 6 to 8 hours in the preheated oven. Add more water if necessary.
