Ingredients
- 800 grams canned navy beans
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 120 milliliters ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Drain and rinse the canned navy beans under cold water and set aside.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.
Step 4
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the mixture is well combined and begins to bubble gently.
Step 6
Gently fold in the rinsed beans and crumbled bacon. Mix until everything is coated evenly in the sauce.
Step 7
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your preference.
Step 9
Let the baked beans cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
