Ingredients:
* 1 lb. dried pinto or navy beans
* ½ lb. bacon (about 12 slices)
* 1 large onion, finely diced
* 3 tablespoons molasses
* ½ cup brown sugar
* 1 cup ketchup
* 1 teaspoon dry mustard
* ½ cup apple cider vinegar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
* 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation:
Place dried beans in a large bowl and add enough water to cover by 2-3 inches (about 8 cups). Let the beans soak overnight.
Drain and rinse the beans. Simmer beans in 8 cups of water and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar until tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Drain and set aside, reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Using a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon until crisp, 7 or 8 minutes. Add the beans and all other remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Add some of the cooking liquid if the mixture is too thick.
Transfer pot to oven. Bake uncovered for 2-3 hours (or to desired thickness) until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
