Servings: 3 1/2 cups (serves 6-7) 1x
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, chopped
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 (15-ounce) cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup no-sugar-added ketchup
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or 1 tablespoon, if your ketchup has added sugar)
- 2 tablespoons yellow or Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a medium to large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Keep the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the diced onion to the pan with the bacon and cook until the onion starts to soften, an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the bacon and onion mixture to the slow cooker. Add the drained and rinsed beans, ketchup, maple syrup, mustard, molasses, vinegar, and water; stir gently to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours, stirring a few times during cooking time.
Notes
If doubling this recipe, we recommend that you NOT double the water and still just use 1 cup. Instead, add a little additional water only if needed after the beans have been cooking on low for 3 hours.
