Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned navy beans
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium (finely diced) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
Step 3
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 5
Gently fold in the navy beans, ensuring they are thoroughly coated with the sauce. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the mixture for extra flavor.
Step 6
Season the beans with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet or dish to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 75-90 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the beans from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with crusty bread.
