"Baked" Beans

4 cups dry navy beans
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 pounds bacon, browned and cut into small pieces
2 onions, finely diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup blackstrap molasses
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon baking cocoa
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Magic Dust

Soak beans in cool water for around two hours. Add the liquid smoke and a teaspoon of salt and simmer until the beans are firm, but not crunchy, approximately 1 hour. Drain and reserve the liquid. Brown the onion and garlic over medium heat. In a small saucepan combine ketchup, molasses, salt, pepper, mustard, baking cocoa, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar; bring to a slow boil.

Put everything, except the reserved bean water, into a crock pot, add the Magic Dust and stir. Add just enough of the reserved bean water to cover the beans. Put the lid on and set the crock pot to 350° (medium/high) and leave it alone for a couple hours. Check on it periodically and if they look dry add more of the reserved water.
