Baked Beans

1 pound bag beans, soak overnight or for several hours in water in a large pot. Bring to a boil cook until they are begining to become soft then drain the water and keep it for addition as needed later. Tranfer beans to a roaster and add:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup molasses
salt and pepper
can add chopped onion
I add bacon or cubed ham or pork chops (if you use raw pork cubes add at the boiling in water part to help with cooking the meat and adding flavor to beans.
Taste and add water as needed or additional brown sugar, ketchup and molasses depending on how many beans you are using and your like. Cook for 3-4 hours in oven at 300 degrees or all day in a slow cooker.
I use a large pot on stove or after they are boiled I reserve the water and transferr the beans to a roaster or a large slow cooker.
