I have adapted this recipe from allrecipes.com. It was very good as written. I like the extra smokey flavor and zip that the Bull's Eye sauce gives. Plus my local grocery store sells white beans in a 907g bag, which conveniently is about 4 cups. If you need extra protein slicing in a couple of BBQ bratwursts is a nice addition.
An informal facebook poll suggested serving with corn bread and greens. Personally, if I'm stressing everyone's GI tract with beans, adding a dark green and leafy seems awfully risky when there are more people than toilets in this house. Buns or bannock and fresh fruit like muskmelon work well.
Ingredients
- 4 cups white (navy) beans
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup (or slightly more) table molasses
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup Bull's Eye BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 oz Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Soak beans overnight
- Chop bacon into 2 inch long pieces, pan fry in a No. 6 cast iron frying pan. Remove with tongs to plate covered with a paper towel to soak up some of the bacon fat
- Drain most of the grease but leave a little to saute the onion
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Drain and rinse beans.
- Add the beans, onion and bacon in a 5 quart glazed dutch oven
- In a saucepan, combine molasses, salt, spices, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ suace and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and drizzle over beans.
- Put dutch oven on the burner on Medium and bring to a simmer.
- Cover with a lid, place in preheated oven
- Bake for 5 or 6 hours, until beans are done. Soft not crunchy and the sauce is a rich thick brown. Stir halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to prevent drying out.
