Beans

Sauce

Method

Preparing the Beans

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    In a large bowl, combine the dried navy beans with 4 cups of water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. Place them in a pot with 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour or until tender. Drain any excess water.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble. Reserve some bacon grease in the skillet.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked beans, crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beans evenly.

Baking the Beans

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the mixed beans and sauce into a baking dish and spread evenly.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is slightly caramelized.
