2 lb. white beans, soaked in water overnight
1 tsp. baking soda
1 lg. onion, peeled
1 lb. bacon
8 tbsp. sugar
2/3 c. molasses
2 tsp. dry mustard
4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Drain beans. Cover beans with water along with the baking soda. Simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse. Put the onion in the bottom of a 3 quart casserole. Add half the diced bacon. Add the beans and top with remaining bacon. Mix other ingredients and pour over the beans. Add enough water to just cover. Do not stir. Bake covered at 300 degrees for 6 hours. After 2 hours check and stir the beans. You may have to add water, but do not get the beans too wet.
