Ingredients

• 16 ounces dried navy beans (about 2 cups)
• 1½ cups chopped yellow onion
• ½ cup diced bacon or salt pork (about 4 ounces)
• 5½ cups water
• ¾ cup maple syrup, divided
• 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Instructions

• Sort and rinse the beans; place in a large bowl. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans; cover and let stand 8 hours or overnight. Drain the beans.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat a pan with cooking spray. Add the onion and bacon to the pan; sauté 5 minutes. Add the beans, 5½ cups water, ½ cup syrup, mustard, salt, and Tabasco; bring to a boil.
• Cover, remove from stove and place into the oven. Bake for 2½ hours or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of syrup; serve.

Notes

• If preparing this recipe as GLUTEN FREE- keep a few things in mind: use a brand of bacon that you know is GF. Pure maple syrup is GF. Grey Poupon Dijon and Tabasco brands are both listed as GF.
