Great Northern Beans are in the bean/lentil section of your grocery store. I usually have all of these basic ingredients on hand.

Soak beans 8+ hours. I usually soak overnight and finish & assemble the beans the next day.

Another way to test is try to cut bean with fingernail.

Note: You may notice in my photos... this time I made a half recipe which yields 4 generous servings. I used half a bag of beans. For company or a family, I recommend this recipe for 8-12 servings

Drain while you prepare "sauce."

Measure and mix Onions, ketchup, salt, dry mustard, Worcestershire, molasses.

Stir to to mix.

Stir in 1/2 - 1 cup bean liquid, saving some to add later during the baking time. It is tough for me to estimate exactly how much you need. I do it by sight. It should be pourable but not super runny.

Place drained beans into baking dish.

Mix in evenly.

Cut bacon. I LOVE my kitchen shears and use them for so many times I need to cut up foods.

Place bacon pieces on top. You can put more if you like. Sometimes I solidly cover the beans. Bacon adds calories but adds lots of flavor too!

$Save out a cup of liquid to add as desired during baking if they appear to be drying out. Bake covered 3 hours @ 300\u00b0 or 2 hours at 325\u00b0. Check each hour, removing cover last 30-45 minutes to brown.$
