Mom's Baked Beans
I realize this isn't really Paleo, nor is it the healthiest recipe I've ever made. But if you start these the night before, put a little extra water in the crock pot, and cook on low overnight, you have baked beans for/with breakfast! And it's so much nicer than opening a can. And yes, this is my mom's recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1lb bag dry navy beans
1 cup water
1 cup ketchup
2 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp dark molasses
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large slice of bacon or about 2 Tbsp sliced salt pork
a dash of salt and pepper
Pour the dry beans into a large pot, sifting with your fingers a bit to check for dead or black ones. Cover with twice as much water and bring to a boil, then simmer on stove top for 25-30 minutes.
Turn burner off and let sit for at least 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and add to crock pot, along with all other ingredients (slicing the strip of bacon into little chunks), mix well.
Cook on low at least 6 hours, or as long as you want (if overnight, add a little extra water before you go to bed).
