Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned navy beans
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the bacon fat and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, molasses, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine, creating a rich sauce.
Mix in the navy beans and crumbled bacon (reserve a bit of bacon for topping). Stir thoroughly to ensure the beans are well coated in the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake uncovered for 75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with the reserved bacon.
