Ingredients:                              Serves 10 servings  
2 tsp olive oil
1 med onion (diced)
3 to 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
3 tsp molasses
1 can whole organic tomatoes (diced)
11/2 tsp Dijon prepared mustard
1 tsp carob powder
1 package northern beans (or navy beans)
3 cups of fresh filtered water

Directions:
Soak the beans over night or during the day while you are at work.  Drain the beans and put into a large stock pot.  Add fresh water and bring to a boil.  When at a full boil put lid on the pot and turn off the heat.  Go to bed or to work depending on the time of day you are doing this.  Beans will be done when you wake up or return from work.
 
Get out a deep baking dish with a lid.  Rinse the cooked beans and put them into the baking dish.  Add all the above ingredients and then bake at 350 deg. Bake for 4 to 5 hours.

Note:Check the beans during that baking to make sure they don’t dry out.  If so add water.
