Ingredients
- 1 pound dried Great Northern beans
- 1 pound thick cut bacon chopped
- 1 large yellow onion peeled & chopped
- 1 Jalapeño seeded & chopped
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup molasses
- 3 cups vegetable broth plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place the dried beans in a food storage container. Cover with water, snap the lid in place, and soak overnight in the fridge.
- The next day preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Place a large oven-safe pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped bacon, onion, and jalapenos to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft.
- Stir in the brown sugar, tomato paste, and molasses. (Spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before pouring the molasses to help get it out easily.)
- Drain the beans, keeping the liquid reserved in a measuring cup. Add the beans to the pot.
- Add enough vegetable broth to bean liquid to total 4 cups and then pour the broth mixture into the pot. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Add the salt, pepper, and cayenne to the pot. Stir and then cover with the lid.
- Place in the oven for 6-8 hours until the beans are soft. Stir and serve warm.
