Add onions, bacon and 3 tsp. of salt. Cook until beans are completely done. Add water as needed. After beans are done add molasses, the 2 1/2 tsp. salt and sugar. Stir well. Be sure there is enough water in mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 4 or more hours. Stir occasionally. Take them out of oven when they are a little soupy. They will thicken as they cool.
