Ingredients

• 2 cans black soybeans
• 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the black soybeans from the cans and set them aside.

Step 2

Chop the bacon into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon pieces.

Step 3

Cook the bacon until it becomes crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon bits and place them on a paper towel to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion to the bacon fat and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the rinsed black soybeans to the skillet, followed by the sugar-free BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Mix all ingredients well to ensure the beans are fully coated in the sauce and spices.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let the beans cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 9

Stir in the crispy bacon bits just before serving to maintain their crunch.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone keto-friendly meal.
