Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lb dry white beans, or navy beansInstructions
1 lb sliced smoked bacon, cut in small pieces
4 cloves cloves minced garlic
2 large red onions chopped
3 cups water
1 cup light or fancy molasses
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
one 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes, pureed
one 28 ounce can tomato sauce
4 tbsp dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Begin by soaking in water overnight or up to 48 hours.
  • In a large skillet slowly fry the bacon. Completely render the fat out of the bacon, leaving it crispy.
  • Pour off the majority of the fat from the pan. Set the bacon aside.
  • Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add the onions and garlic.
  • Cook until the onions and garlic are softened, then add the water.
  • Let the water come to the boil to deglaze the pan.
  • Add to a large covered roaster (Turkey roasting size) along with the crisp bacon, the soaked beans (which have been drained) and add all of the remaining ingredients.
  • Stir all together well, cover and place in a 325 degree F oven for 4-5 hours or longer, stirring occasionally. The beans should be fully cooked and tender and the sauce should thicken. (see NOTE Regarding cooking time.)
  • I almost always add a little extra boiling water at a few points during the cooking time if the sauce thickens too quickly before the beans are fully cooked, usually about 1 to 1 1/2 cups at a time. This is not a problem at all and is to be expected.
