Beanie weanies

From scratch! Well.. the beans are.

Ingredients

1 lbs dried navy beans
3 cups water (replace half with chicken stock if desired)
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup molasses
1tbs dried mustard
1/4tbs garlic powder
1tbs onion powder
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 of a 6oz can tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup


Directions
Soak navy beans at least 12 hours (I usually put them in to soak a full day before I plan to make them)
Drain and rinse the beans, add all ingredients to the crock pot
Cook 7-8 hours on high. Crock pots vary, so it might take more or less time based on yours.
Cook until the beans are finished. Adding water to crock pot if needed.
During the last 30 minutes, add a pound of sliced hot dogs.
