CANADIAN HUNT CAMP BAKED BEANS

1 lb white beans
1 qt. cold water
1 medium onion sliced
1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
3 tsps. cider vinegar
2 tbsps. brown sugar
3/4 cup molasses
1 cup ketchup
pinch of black pepper
1/2 pound of bacon
3 tbsps. of your favourite bbq sauce (I prefer bullseye)

Rinse beans and soak overnight in cold water. Cook in soaking water. Cook beans covered in pot in 1 quart water. Cover, heat to boil and then simmer for 30 minutes.

Drain, keeping the liquid aside. Mix beans and rest of ingredients in min. 6 qt. casserole dish, dutch oven, roast pan, etc.

Add 3 cups of reserved cooking water. Cover and bake for 4 hours in 250F oven.

Remove and add more water if needed at this time. Remove 1 cup of beans from pot and mash and add back to pot and stir.

Place back in oven for another 2 hours at 250F.

Zana's Note:

I use chopped up chunks of double smoked bacon ends or back bacon (aka Canadian Bacon).
