How To Make maddy's newfoundland baked beans

• Step 1
  Soak beans in water and a little salt overnight. The following day, drain the water and cover with clean water. Cover pot, but leave lid partway open. Boil the beans on medium for 1 1/2 hours. When finished, drain and set aside.
• Step 2
  Cut up the bacon into small pieces. Chop the onion and fry the onion and HALF the bacon together in the bottom of your oven cooking pot using a tablespoon of butter, until the bacon and onion are translucent. Stir occasionally while cooking. (About 10 minutes).
• Step 3
  Add five cups of clean water to pot. Add the beans and all other remaining ingredients, except the reserved bacon and stir.
• Step 4
  Place the remaining bacon on top of the pot. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Half way through the baking, stir, and check the pot to make sure it has enough liquid. If not add a little more water and continue to bake the allotted time.
• Step 5
  My husband likes to stir in extra brown sugar at the end to make it a little sweeter for his taste. I agree.
