1lb great northern white or even cattle beans
1/4-1/3lb salt pork or bacon, chopped up
1 medium vadalia onion chopped finely
1/2-3/4 tsp mustard powder. Sometimes I put in a heaping tsp, just depends.
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2tsp black pepper
4 cups water that goes into the pot
Turn oven on at 425F
I use the scald bean method. Get a tea kettle with 3-4 cups water boiling. Put beans into a bowl. Pour the boiling water over them. Let them soak for about 5min. Drop in 1/2-1 tsp of baking soda. This will likely foam over, so do this in the sink. Pour beans into a cullender and rinse.
Put everything in the traditional bean pot (or you could use a dutch oven I suppose). Cook at 425F for 1hr. Roll temp back to 200 and cook all night or at least 7hrs more.
