Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned navy beans
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.3333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1.5 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
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 set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
In the same skillet, using the rendered bacon fat, sauté the diced onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and water. Mix well to create the sauce.
Step 5
Add the sautéed onions to the sauce mixture and stir to combine.
Step 6
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the canned navy beans evenly across the bottom. Pour the sauce mixture over the beans, ensuring all the beans are coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the beans.
Step 8
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious dish as a side to your favorite meal!
