4. Once beans have simmered for 1 hour, drain, and reserve cooking liquid. Pour beans into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish; stir in chopped onion and molasses mixture. Stir in enough reserved cooking liquid so sauce covers beans by 1/4 inch. ALLRECIPES / JULIA HARTBECK
5. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and cook 6 hours longer, stirring beans after they have cooked for 3 hours. Once beans are tender and sauce has reduced and is sticky, remove from the oven, stir, recover, and allow to stand 15 minutes before serving. ALLRECIPES / JULIA HARTBECK
