Captain Ken’s Baked Beans
4th July favorite
Ingredients
Scale
1½ # dry navy beans (small bag)
1 c. diced ham and/or ham bone (I use both)
½ c. chopped onion
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. ketchup
½ c. molasses
1 t. season salt
1 t. dry mustard
2 t. hot sauce
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Completely soften the beans. Soften the beans by soaking them in 6 cups water, and simmer for 30 minutes. Let stand in the water covered for 1½ hours. Drain and reserve 1 cup of water.
Put beans in a crock pot. Add all remaining ingredients along with 1 cup reserved bean liquid; mix well. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cut ham from the bone and return to crock pot. If thicker beans are desired, uncover and turn on high during the last hour.
