Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Soak beans in water overnight. Drain. Add fresh water, just enough to cover the beans, and salt. Cook until tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. If necessary, pour off some water from the beans so that they are very moist but not swimming in liquid. Add ketchup, brown sugar and mustard to the beans and water. Pour into a large (about 9 by 12 by 3) flat baking pan. Lay strips of bacon on top of the bean mixture.
Step 3
Bake for 2½ hours. If the bacon starts browning too fast, reduce heat to 225 degrees and extend the baking time by 1 hour.
