Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked navy beans or canned, drained, and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water or broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 slices of bacon optional, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, molasses, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, and water. Mix well.
  • In a baking dish, layer the cooked navy beans. Pour the sauce mixture over the beans, stirring gently to combine.
  • Top with bacon slices, if using.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven to bake for one hour.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness and smokiness to taste by tweaking the molasses and smoked paprika quantities.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and use vegetable broth.
