Ingredients
- 1 pound Navy beans
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 large green pepper diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup barbecue sauce use gluten-free, if needed
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup molasses
Instructions
- Soak the beans in water (the water should rise a few inches above the beans) overnight.
- Cook the bacon on the sauté setting of the slow cooker, or in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Remove the bacon and set it aside.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Sauté the onion, pepper, and garlic in the grease until soft, about 5-7 minutes. If you cooked them in a Dutch oven, transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker.
- Drain the beans. Add the beans and 3 cups of fresh water to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beans are mostly tender.
- Whisk the brown sugar, barbecue sauce, vinegar, mustard, and molasses together in a small bowl. Stir into the beans. Add the bacon to the slow cooker.
- Cook an additional 1-2 hours on high, until the beans are thick and dark.
Notes
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use a homemade gluten-free barbecue sauce, or be sure to check the labels of commercial barbecue sauces—some are gluten-free, but many are not!
