Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned kidney beans
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 15 oz canned cannellini beans
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Open and drain the kidney beans, black beans, and cannellini beans. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, using the bacon grease, sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kidney beans, black beans, cannellini beans, cooked bacon, sautéed onion, and garlic. Mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the bean and bacon mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the dish is bubbling and heated through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm and flavorful Triple Bean Bake!
