Slow-Cooked Baked Beans

I could not find a baked beans recipe that everyone liked. So I started putting a few different ones together and I came up with this.

Step: 1

Place beans in a large pot and cover with plenty of water. Cover pot with a lid and soak beans for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and fill pot with fresh water.

Step: 2

Cook beans over medium heat until tender, about 1 hour. Drain beans, reserving the water for later use.

Step: 3

Place beans, ketchup, ham, 1 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, molasses, onion powder, mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and 1 cup reserved bean water in a slow cooker. Add more bean water as needed if beans get too dry.

Step: 4

Cook on Low for 7 to 9 hours.
