Instructions

  1. Place navy beans into a bowl or pot and fill with water until covered. Let beans soak 12 hours, or overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse soaked beans and then place into a clean large oven-safe pot with lid. Fill with water to cover once again and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let beans simmer 1 hour, until beans are tender. Once cooked, drain well and return to pot.
  3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Add uncooked diced bacon to the beans along with onions and bell peppers. Stir in ketchup, beef broth, Worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, salt, and pepper
  5. Bake, covered, in the 300 degree oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Notes

  • Don't have an oven-safe pot? Transfer the bean mixture to a 9x13 pan or 3 quart casserole dish. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake as directed. 
  • Want to use canned beans? You can use four 15-ounce cans of navy beans instead. Drain and rinse well. Skip steps 1 and 2 and add your rinsed beans in step 5.
