How to Make Almost Boston Baked Beans

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the beans and water (or broth). Soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain and rinse the beans.
3. Heat the bacon grease or olive oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
5. Stir in the molasses, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
6. Add the drained beans to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The longer they simmer, the better they'll taste!
8. Serve warm with crusty bread or alongside your favorite barbecue.
