Ingredients

• 3 cups Canned navy beans (drained and rinsed)
• 6 slices Bacon (diced)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions and garlic, navy beans, crispy bacon, ketchup, Kahlua, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Transfer the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the beans cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra crispy bacon bits if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with crusty bread.
