Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cups canned navy beans
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Chop the bacon slices into small pieces and dice the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon fat and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the navy beans, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Fold in the cooked onions and most of the bacon, reserving a little bacon for topping.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the reserved bacon pieces over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the beans are thick and bubbly. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even baking.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the baked beans cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting family recipe as a flavorful addition to your meal!
