Beans

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Beans

    Open the canned navy beans, kidney beans, and black beans. Drain the liquid and rinse the beans under cold water. This removes excess sodium.

  2. 2

    Combine Beans

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed navy beans, kidney beans, and black beans. Set aside.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add to Beans

    Pour the prepared BBQ sauce over the combined beans. Stir well to ensure all beans are coated with the sauce.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the beans and sauce mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, sprinkle the chopped bacon, onion, and bell pepper evenly on top of the beans.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to caramelize.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Remove the BBQ beans from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot as a side dish or main dish.
