How to Make Maple Onion Baked Beans

Wash 1 pound of dried beans and cover with water. Soak overnight (at least 8 hours).
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Add 6 cups of water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Drain the beans, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.
In a large bean pot or oven-safe dish, combine the drained beans, 1 envelope (2 oz) dried onion soup mix, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and the reserved 1 1/2 cups bean liquid.
(Optional) Place 4-6 ounces of diced salt pork in the center of the beans.
Cover the bean pot and bake for 5 hours, stirring every hour. Add more water if the beans become too dry.
Remove from oven and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
