Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bacon (chopped)
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 cans Great Northern beans (16 oz each), drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Fry the chopped bacon in a dutch oven over medium heat until it has rendered some fat (about 4 mins). Add the onion and sauté until tender (about 5 mins). Add the beans, tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, barbecue sauce, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Cover the beans and bake until the sauce thickens (about two hours). Stir every 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for five minutes to thicken.
  • Stir well and serve.

Notes

Bake the beans in an oven rather than on a cooktop.  The beans have a sugar in them that will burn if heated on a traditional range.  The oven provides heat from all directions which helps minimized burning the beans.

I'm Dave, just a guy who likes to cook for family and friends and take pictures of what I make. I am not a chef. While some of my recipes might look complicated and intimidating, I assure you that they are all really quite easy. If you can cut an onion, you can make any recipe on this website. Have some fun and make something new.
