Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them again. Place the beans back in the pot, add 4 cups of fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the beans are tender.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bacon and Onion

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. In the remaining bacon fat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beans, sautéed onions, crispy bacon, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  3. 5

    Bake the Beans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the bean mixture into a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and thickened.
