Ingredients
  

Beans Base
  • 2 cups dried navy beans soaked overnight
  • 4 cups water for cooking beans
Flavoring Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup smoked bacon chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Beans
  1. Drain and rinse the soaked navy beans. In a large pot, cover the beans with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until tender.
Cook the Base
  1. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked beans, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard powder, black pepper, salt, and chopped bacon to the Dutch oven. Mix well.
Smoke the Beans
  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Transfer the bean mixture to a smoker-safe dish and smoke for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the beans are thickened.
