Ingredients:

• 1-pound dried navy beans
• 6 strips of bacon, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of ketchup
• ½ cup of molasses
• ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon of black pepper
• 6 cups of water

Instructions:

1. Rinse the beans in cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Soak them in cold water overnight for at least 8 hours.
2. Once soaked, drain the beans and set aside.
3. In a Dutch oven, fry the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.
4. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and flavorful.
5. Add the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, salt, mustard and black pepper, and stir to incorporate.
6. Stir in 6 cups of water and the soaked beans (drained). Be sure the beans are submerged in liquid.
7. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat and let it simmer with the lid on for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally. If needed, add more water or adjust seasoning along the way.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
9. Transfer the beans mixture to a baking dish and bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Make sure there is enough liquid so that the top does not dry out before the beans are cooked and tender.
10. Once it's done baking, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
