Baked Beans

2 c Dried navy beans
1/2 lb Salt pork/bacon/ham, diced
1/2 c Molasses/brown sugar
1/2 c Tomato sauce/ketchup
2 ts Dry mustard
1 ts Paprika/chile powder
1 Onion, diced

In a large pot, soak the beans overnight. Drain and add fresh water to cover. Simmer for 60 minutes. Drain in a colander. In an oven proof dish combine beans and the other ingredients. Bake the beans, covered, in a 300 deg F oven for 5 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the beans just barely covered. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 1 more hour.

This recipe is spicier than the classic Boston baked beans but tasty.
