Ingredients
1/4 pound sliced bacon
2 cups chopped onion
1 Tbsp dry mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark molasses
1/3 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed, drained
1 15-ounce can cannellini , rinsed, drained
1 teaspoon Tabasco
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned and crisp. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to soak up excess fat. Crumble up the bacon and set aside.
Remove all but a tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the pot. Add the chopped onions and cook on medium high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the onions with dry mustard and thyme. Stir in the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, bay leaf, beans, Tabasco, and water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the pot and put into a 350 degrees F oven. Bake for 1 hour, checking every 15 minutes to stir and add more water if needed. Stir in the bacon the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Alternatively, cook in a slow cooker 4 hours on high, or 8 on low.
Discard bay leaf before serving.
