Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 15-ounce cans canned black soybeans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black soybeans, sautéed onion and garlic, sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 7
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the top is slightly caramelized.
Step 8
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb baked beans with bacon!
