Step 1

Add overnight-soaked beans to an oven-safe pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce to a simmer. Cover with lid and continue to cook until the beans are cooked throughout, about 45 minutes. Strain beans and rinse under cold water.

Step 2

Return the beans back to the pot. Add onion, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, tomato paste, mustard powder, salt, pepper and water. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Transfer beans to an oven preheated to 350°F. Cook with the lid on for 4 hours, checking on the beans after every hour. If liquid gets low, add ½ cup more water.

Step 4

Remove the lid and return back to the oven. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately on its own or on top of crusty bread.
