Heat a large sauce pan, then add chopped onion. Let the onion brown a bit (if your onions stick add a little broth or water to them), then add the rest of the ingredients.
Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Take the lid off, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
Once you reach a thick baked beans consistency, they are done.
***Note: to amp up the flavor even more, add 1/2 cup crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits. It's really good!!!
