How to make italian style baked beans:

Wash Great Northern beans and cover with cold water. Allow to stand overnight. Add dry mustard to remove snappers. Place over high heat, adding butter to keep down foaming. Bring to boiling point. Cover and reduce heat, so water will simmer. Stir carefully a time or two. After 1 hour, add salt. Continue cooking another 1/2 to 1 hour until beans are tender, but not mushy. Drain cooked beans, saving liquid.

Cook chopped onion, garlic and celery in olive oil until tender, but not browned. Add parsley, thyme, basil, black pepper, tomatoes and bean liquid. (If there is not enough liquid, fill out measure with tomato juice.) Heat all to boiling point. Lightly mix into the beans. Turn into a 12-quart casserole or baking dish. Cover and bake about an hour in a 350° oven. Remove from oven. Dust top generously with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Return to the oven to bake another 10 minutes, uncovered. Ham, sausage or salami may be added to make a one-dish meal.
