Preparation

Soak beans overnight in cold water. Simmer the beans in the same water approximately 1 to 2 hours until tender. Drain and reserve the liquid.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Arrange beans in a 2 quart bean pot or casserole dish by placing a portion of the beans in the bottom of the dish, and alternately layering with bacon and onion. (Beans, bacon, onion, beans, bacon, onion and so on.)

In a saucepan, combine molasses, salt, pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, worchestershire sauce, dry chili flakes (*optional) and brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, then pour over the beans. Add just enough of the reserved bean water to cover the beans. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake for 3 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until beans are tender. Remove the lid about halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry.
