Whisk together the molasses, sugar, mustard, cayenne, Bakon yeast, and tamari in a bowl, then mix with the beans and add the onions, bay leaves, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place in a bean pot or 2-quart baking dish and add water to cover the beans. Check periodically and add more water, if needed, to keep the beans from drying out. Remove the cover during the last half hour of cooking so a crust can form. 401 calories, 1.7 gram fat per 1 cup serving.
Bakon yeast contributes the smoky flavor instead of using salt pork.
A crockpot would work fine with this recipe.
