Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 300° F. Drain the beans, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then drain again.

Whisk together the molasses, sugar, mustard, cayenne, Bakon yeast, and tamari in a bowl, then mix with the beans and add the onions, bay leaves, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Place in a bean pot or 2-quart baking dish and add water to cover the beans. Cover and bake until the beans are very soft, 7 to 8 hours. Check periodically and add more water, if needed, to keep the beans from drying out.

Remove the cover during the last half hour of cooking so a crust can form. 401 calories, 1.7 gram fat per 1 cup serving.

Serve with corn bread and a salad.

NOTES: Bakon yeast contributes the smoky flavor instead of using salt pork. A crockpot would work fine with this recipe.
