1
Prepare the Beans
Soak the navy beans overnight in a large bowl of water. Drain and rinse before cooking.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, chop it, and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
3
Sauté the Onion
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion to the bacon drippings and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4
Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the soaked beans, cooked bacon, sautéed onion, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
5
Bake the Beans
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Transfer the bean mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 2 to 2.5 hours, checking occasionally and adding water if needed.
6
Serve
Once the beans are tender and the sauce is thickened, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
