Ingredients

2pounds dry white or navy beans (907g bag of beans)
cold water(for soaking beans)
6cups cold water (for cooking)
3⁄4cups maple syrup
1⁄2cup fancy molasses
1can tomato paste(163 ml can)
1⁄2package bacon(allergen and sulphite free)
1 onion (chopped)
2tablespoons dijon mustard
1teaspoon salt
1⁄2teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

Place the beans in large bowl. Cover with water and soak for approximately 8 hours (overnight) at room temperature. Add water, as needed, so that the beans are always covered. Rinse beans and drain.
In a 6 Quart slow cooker, combine and stir together all the ingredients. Cook for 6-7 hours on high. About 2 hours before the beans are finished cooking, adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Allow to sit for 2 hours before serving for the beans to soak up all the liquid and sauce to thicken.

Recipe Notes

The beans will be better the next day, once they have absorbed all the liquid.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating over low heat.

Replace maple syrup with 1 cup of brown sugar for a more economical version. You can also replace the tomato paste with ketchup.
