Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans black soybeans
- 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black soybeans from the cans and set them aside.
Chop the bacon into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon pieces.
Cook the bacon until it becomes crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon bits and place them on a paper towel to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion to the bacon fat and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the rinsed black soybeans to the skillet, followed by the sugar-free BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all ingredients well to ensure the beans are fully coated in the sauce and spices.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let the beans cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Stir in the crispy bacon bits just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone keto-friendly meal.
