Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, cook 8 strips of chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve it for later.
2
In the bacon drippings, sauté 1 medium diced yellow onion and 1 diced green bell pepper for about 5 minutes until softened. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in 1½ cups BBQ sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Add 3 cans (15 oz each) of drained and rinsed navy beans and stir to coat evenly.
4
Return the reserved bacon to the pot, ensuring the mixture is quite saucy — it will thicken as it bakes. Cover the pot and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour.
5
After 1 hour, remove the lid and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the top is caramelized and thick, the beans are very tender, and the sauce has reduced to a rich, jammy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot as a side dish.
