Add all sauce ingredients and mix well. Pour sauce over beans, mix well. May add 8-9 slices of fried bacon cut into pieces. Bake at 350 degrees for 1- 1 1/2 hours. After 45 minutes check to see if you need to add additional reserved bean liquid. Can also make in crockpot set on low for 6 -8 hours.

Note: I used my home canned beans and often substitute Navy beans for the Great Northern. So far, no one has complained!
