Ingredients
- 3 cups Canned navy beans (drained and rinsed)
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon (chopped)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.333 cup Honey
- 2 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, honey, chopped chipotle peppers, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, paprika, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the navy beans. Stir to coat the beans evenly with the sauce.
Fold in the cooked bacon pieces, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
Cover the skillet or transfer everything to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
Remove the foil, stir the beans, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with reserved bacon pieces if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
