Baked Beans with Tomato Sauce

Soak and cook beans as directed for boiled beans.

Turn into a bean pot or heavy casserole.

Combine salt, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, tomatoes and onion; add to beans.

If the liquid does not cover the beans, add enough hot water to cover.

Scrape rind of salt pork and cut gashes in fat 1/2 inch apart.

Press into the beans, leaving only the rind exposed; or cut in 1/2-inch slices and bury in the beans or lay on top.

Cover and bake in a slow oven (250° to 275°) 6 to 8 hours, adding more water as necessary to keep the beans just covered.

Remove cover for last half hour of baking. Makes about 12 servings.
