Cuisine: American
Serves: 4-6 servings
- 6 oz. bacon, (about half a pack, 5-6 slices) cut into pieces
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 2 - 15 oz. cans of navy beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 Tbsp. molasses, (honey or maple syrup will work as a substitute!)
- ½ Tbsp. stone ground mustard
- ½ cup hot water, (the water should just cover the beans)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Heat a heavy pot with a lid over medium-low heat.
- Fry up the bacon bits for about 5 minutes until they start getting golden and crispy, and then add the onion and jalapeño.
- Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 more minutes until the veggies soften.
- Add the beans to the pot, and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
- Put the the lid on the pot, lower the heat to low, and check the beans after 20 minutes.
- Stir, and let cook 20 minutes more. Check the beans, and once the water is almost all gone they are done.
