     Put beans to soak the night before.  (They will cook quicker the next day.)  Drain and cover with clean water.  Add salt and pepper.  While beans cook (about 2 hours) brown bacon and onions.  Rinse beans when cooked and put in a very large roaster or preferably an electric roaster.  Add all ingredients and drained bacon and onions and stir well.  Check for salt and flavor.  Bake at 225 about 6 hours or 3-4 hours at 325 degrees.  Stir occasionally.  Serves 100.
