Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 15-ounce cans canned black soybeans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black soybeans, sautéed onion and garlic, sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the top is slightly caramelized.
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb baked beans with bacon!
