Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 slices bacon, halved crosswise (4 ounces)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 to 3 cloves)
3 cans (each 15 ounces) navy beans or small white beans, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 sprigs thyme

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a 2-quart Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium, flipping occasionally, until some of the fat is rendered and bacon is browned in places, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, Worcestershire, and garlic. Stir in beans. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Transfer beans to Dutch oven and top with bacon and thyme. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until liquid has thickened and bacon is brown, about 40 minutes more. Let sit 5 minutes; mix well before serving.
