Instructions
Soak the dry navy beans overnight in a bowl of cold water.
Drain the beans. Put the beans in a medium to large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Bring the beans to a boil and scrape off the foam. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the beans.
Place the beans in a bean pot or oven safe crock. Put all of the ingredients in the pot. Cover beans with clean water. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 4-6 hours. Beans will thicken up and turn deep brown color when done. Test them along the way to see if they are tender.
