Method

Preparation of Beans

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    In a large bowl, soak the dried navy beans in 8 cups of water overnight. This helps soften the beans and reduces cooking time.

  2. 2

    Drain and Rinse

    The next day, drain the soaked beans and rinse them under cold water.

Cooking the Beans

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, add the soaked beans and cover them with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

  2. 4

    Preheat Oven

    While the beans are cooking, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 5

    Cook Bacon and Onion

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and chop it into pieces. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

  2. 6

    Combine Flavorings

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked bacon, sautéed onion, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Baking the Beans

  1. 7

    Combine Beans and Mixture

    Once the beans are tender, drain them and add them to the mixing bowl with the flavoring ingredients. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 8

    Bake the Beans

    Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are thick and bubbly.
