UNCLE BOB'S BOURBON BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight. Drain and rinse. Turn into a large pot with tight fitting lid and cover with water; bring to boil then immediately reduce to simmer. Add two slices bacon, quartered onion and cook for 2 hours. About ½ hour before beans are tender (at 1½ hours), add 1 Tbsp. salt and ½ tsp baking soda. Stir until foaming subsides. The baking soda will rise up and threaten to overflow the pot. Continue to simmer another ½ hour. Drain and reserve liquid.
• Heat oven to 325º F. Set out a 9" x 13" baking dish. (For large gatherings, I use the disposable aluminum pans.)
• Cut each remaining slice of bacon in half or quarters; set aside.
• In sauce pan, combine ketchup, bbq sauce, maple syrup, bourbon, dark brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and 2 cups of the cooking liquid drained from beans. Over medium heat, bring to a low boil and cook, stirring, until well combined.
• Pour beans in a 9"x 13" baking dish. Pour sauce mixture over beans, distribute chopped onion evenly over the top, and lay on remaining slices of bacon, each strip cut into halves or quarters. Cover with foil, folding one corner back to vent and bake at 325° for 1½ hours. Add more cooking liquid as necessary to keep beans from drying out.
• Remove foil and continue baking approx. 30 minutes or until bacon is brown and excess liquid has been cooked out.
