8 lbs. navy beans
1 qt. tomato juice
1-1 1/2 lbs. brown sugar
4 tbsp. mustard
2-3 lbs. bacon, diced
6 c. catsup
4-6 tbsp. molasses
2 med. onions, diced
Put beans to soak the night before. (They will cook quicker the next day.) Drain and cover with clean water. Add salt and pepper. While beans cook (about 2 hours) brown bacon and onions. Rinse beans when cooked and put in a very large roaster or preferably an electric roaster. Add all ingredients and drained bacon and onions and stir well. Check for salt and flavor. Bake at 225 about 6 hours or 3-4 hours at 325 degrees. Stir occasionally.
