Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large onion, chopped
5-7 slice bacon, chopped
2 can(s) pinto beans (16 oz) or navy beans
3 Tbsp yellow mustard
1/4 c ketchup (no hfcs, i use hunts)
1 tsp lea & perrin's worcestershire sauce (no hfcs)
1/4 c honey
1/4 c coconut sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Saute bacon and onion in a skillet with a little olive oil until onion is tender.
  • 2. Drain the liquid from one can of beans, but use the liquid in the other can. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together including bacon and onion.
  • 3. Place in square casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees or until hot and bubbly.
  • 4. NOTE: Before putting in casserole dish, taste to see if any of the ingredients need to be adjusted. If you like it sweeter add more honey or sugar. If you like it spicier, add a little cayenne pepper or hot sauce. I know that bacon is not considered "clean", but it does not create inflammation & pain in my body like HFCS does.
