How this works
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound dry navy beans, soaked overnight
- 3 slices bacon, chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1-2 cups low-sodium chicken stock, or water
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, molasses, Dijon, and paprika. Add to the skillet and cook stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Strain the beans and add them to the pan. Pour in 1 cup chicken stock or water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cover. Bake for 2 hours, until beans soak up the liquid. If the beans are still hard add more stock or water and continue cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
