Soak beans overnight in a large pot. In the morning, add 2 tsp of salt to soaking water and start boiling the beans in this water. (If you forgot to soak the beans overnight, boil them for 1 hour.) If pre-soaked, boil the beans 20-30 mins. Drain in colander. Fry diced bacon until crisp. Leave ALL bacon drippings in pan. Mash tomatoes and add along with sugar and salt to taste. Simmer a few mins. Put beans in casserole and pour bacon-tomato mixture over them. Mix well.
