Slow Cooker Quebec Baked Beans

I have written about Quebec Baked Beans in the past and about how my maternal Grand-Mother fixed this traditional breakfast dish for the family. Last night, I decided to try to make the beans in the slow cooker and they turned out amazing!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups dried white beans
• 1/2 pound salt pork, cut into  1″ cubes
• 1 medium onion, peeled
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 tsp. dry mustard
• 1 tsp. each salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Place the beans in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water then cover with foil.  Place the saucepan in the refrigerator at least 12 hours.
2. Rinse the beans in a colander under cold water.
3. Place the cubed salt pork in the bottom of a 3-5 quart slow cooker (Crockpot). Top the pork with the rinsed beans. Tuck the onion into the beans. Combine the rest of the ingredients and pour over the beans and pork.
4. Add water to the slow cooker to cover the beans by an inch. Simmer on LOW for 8-10 hours.

Makes 6-8 servings.
