Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Soak the beans

Rinse the navy beans and soak them in water overnight or for at least 6 hours. Drain and set aside.

2
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

3
Cook the bacon

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and crumble it, reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.

4
Sauté the onion

Dice the onion and sauté it in the reserved bacon fat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

5
Combine ingredients

In a large Dutch oven or baking dish, combine the soaked beans, crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, molasses, brown sugar, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.

6
Add water

Pour in the water and stir to combine.

7
Bake the beans

Cover the Dutch oven or baking dish and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.

8
Serve

Remove from the oven and let the beans cool slightly before serving as a side dish.
