Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups dried navy beans pre-soaked (see note)
  • 8 oz Bacon or a package of pre-cooked bacon crumbles, or vegan sub
  • ½ cup water to deglaze bacon pan after pouring off bacon grease
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • ½ -1 cup pure maple syrup I used the full cup
  • ¼ cup molasses or sorghum
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon salt + more to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 3 cups water used 3 since half cup used earlier

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the bacon until crisp in a stockpot or dutch oven (if using pre-cooked bacon/vegan bacon crumbles, move to next step). Remove the bacon and set aside. Pour off the fat, then deglaze the pan with about ½ cup of water.
  2. Crumble the bacon into the slow cooker, then add deglazing water and remaining ingredients. Stir lightly to combine.
  3. Cook on high for 10 to 12 hours.

Notes

  • Note: to pre-soak navy beans, cover with 3 quarts of hot water and let set for 5 hours or overnight. For a “quick soak”, cover with water and bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes, then let soak for an hour. Pour off cooking/soaking water.
