Honey baked beans

• 4 cups dried navy, great northern, or other white beans, rinsed and soaked in cold water overnight
• 8 cups water, or part water and chicken or ham broth
• about 1/2 pound bacon
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 cup ketchup, preferrably Heinz
• 1/4 cup prepared mustard (ends of jars of a couple of kinds OK)
• 2 TBLS worcestershire sauce
• salt & pepper

Cook the beans in the 8 cups of water or water & stock until tender (about 1 hour). Chop the bacon and fry it until it is starting to brown and release fat, then add the chopped onions, and cook until they soften. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the ketchup, mustard, honey, and worcestershire sauce. Drain the beans and save the cooking water. Put the beans in a big casserole, and pour in the onion mixture, the cooking water, and salt & pepper to taste. Bake in the preheated 325 degree oven for about 2 hours, until there is a nice crust on top, the liquid is absorbed, and the beans are tender. (add more hot water or stock if they dry out too fast)
