1. In large pot, cover beans with water, about 2 inches above beans.
2. Bring to a boil and remove from heat after 2 minutes.
3. Let stand one hour adding enough water to keep beans covered if necessary.
4. Return beans to the stove on very low heat for 1 hour (do not boil or beans will burst).
5. Drain and reserve liquid.
6. Turn beans into a large casserole and add butter, salt, pepper, sugar, onions and one cup of reserved liquid.
7. Bake uncovered at 300F for 3 1/2 - 4 hours.
8. Do not stir too much or beans could get mushy.
