Homemade Baked Beans

Ingredients:

• 1lb dry white beans
• 1 yellow onion
• 2 bayleafs
• 1 6oz can of tomato paste
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground mustard seed
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika

Soak the beans overnight and drain them from the water. Add them to a large pot with a quartered onion and the bayleaves and bring to a boil. Let the beans simmer for 45 minutes and skim off the foam as it forms. After 45 minutes, drain the beans and remove the bayleaves and onion(optional). Move them to a crockpot. Add to the crockpot the rest of the ingredients and cook at low heat for 4 hours, or longer if you prefer softer beans. Stir frequently and add water as necessary.
