Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Canned navy beans
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to the skillet. Cook until the bacon is crisp, then drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard powder, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine, allowing the mixture to come to a simmer.
Gently fold in the canned navy beans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your Easy Delicious Baked Beans as a side or main dish, paired with cornbread or grilled meats.
