1 lb. dried pea (Navy) beans
1 med. onion, finely chopped
1/2 c. catsup
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. dark corn syrup
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. leaf basil
Salt
1 lb. smoked ham, bacon, or salt pork, diced

Soak beans overnight in 9 cups water. Cook beans in water until softened. Drain and stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into crock pot. Cover and cook on low setting for 6-12 hours. (High setting: 3-4 hours.)

NOTE: I use Great Northern beans in place of dried beans. Also, ham hocks instead of ham, bacon, or salt pork. It gets a better flavor.
