4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Soak beans overnight. Simmer for 10 minutes (my wife adds 1 tsp of baking soda), drain, rinse. Slice onion and place on bottom of bean pot (3 qt casserole). Add half of fatback, beans, and the rest of the fatback (bacon). Mix sugar, molasses, dry mustard, salt, and pepper and pour over beans. Do not stir. Add water to cover. Bake 300 degrees for 6 hours. Check and stir after 2 hours. Add water if needed but not too much.

OK my culinary side says cook all the bacon until you have about 1/4 cup of bacon fat. Sweat oninon in that fat. Yum.... grandma's recipe looks great!
Now do something different, add some heat......
Slice up a jalapeno and add it to the beans....
