MICHAEL'S FAVORITE RECIPE - GRANDMA OLIVES BAKED BEANS

 GRANDMA OLIVES BAKED BEANS

1 pound navy beans

1 onion, finely chopped

3/4 cup molasses

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup catsup

1/2 pound bacon, cut in small pieces

Soak beans in cold water overnight.  Drain, add 2 1/2 quarts fresh water in the morning.  Cook slowly until soft, approximately 1 1/2 hours.  When the skins burst they are soft enough.  Drain, place in a large cake pan and add the rest of the ingredients.  Mix well and bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour or until brown.  These should be very moist; if necessary, add some of the water you boiled the beads in.
