2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp powdered mustard
4 medium onions, chopped
1 cup brandy
2 cup water, boiling
2 tsp cider vinegar
2 tsp salt

Rinse beans and soak overnight in 3 in. cold water, or bring to a boil for 2 min. and simmer 30 to 40 min, until tender but not mushy. Drain.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Cut rind off bacon and reserve.
Cut bacon into 1 X ¼" lardoons.
In bean pot or casserole, combine beans, bacon, ketchup, molasses, mustards, onions, and brandy. Stir to mix.
Add boiling water, cover & bake 2 ½ hours.
Season beans with vinegar, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
