Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried Great Northern beans
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup pure Maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons ketchup

Preparation

Step 1

Soak beans overnight. Drain beans and place in slow cooker. Add onion, water,
syrup, mustard and ketchup to slow cooker. Stir to incorporate ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 8 hours, or until beans are tender. About one hour before you are ready to serve, uncover slow cooker and heat setting to high and continue cooking, uncovered, to release extra moisture, stirring occasionally to make sure beans aren't burning. For you non-vegetarians, add a slice of cooked ham to round out dinner.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with coleslaw on the side (use a ready-made mix and toss with mayo and a little
rice vinegar). Add a loaf of whole wheat bread for a nice meatless meal. For you non-vegetarians, add a slice of
cooked ham to round out dinner.
