Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water and remove any debris. Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with water, and let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    Drain and rinse the soaked beans. In a large pot, combine the beans with 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Flavor Base

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

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

  4. 6

    Bake the Beans

    Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until bubbly and slightly caramelized.
