Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned navy beans
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.75 cups Ketchup
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain and rinse the navy beans and set them aside.
In a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, place on a paper towel to drain, and crumble once cool. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.
Add the diced onion to the bacon fat and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the onion. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine into a smooth sauce.
Add the rinsed navy beans to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the beans in the sauce.
Pour in the water and stir again to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Remove the dish from the oven and stir in the crumbled bacon.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own with crusty bread.
