    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the dried navy beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    In a large pot, cook the pork belly over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Add the soaked beans, cooked pork belly, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 2-3 hours, or until beans are tender.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the beans are tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.
