Dutch Oven Baked Beans with Maple and Bacon

Chelsea
Delicious dutch oven baked beans with maple and bacon.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 3 hours 40 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of assorted dry beans I like 1/2 cup kidney, 1/2 cup cannelini, and 1 cup small white beans
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 slices pastured bacon
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoons mustard powder
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • First, soak your beans overnight, changing the water once or twice.
  • Next, cook your bacon until almost finished. (It will cook the rest of the way in the beans.) Save about 1- 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  • Next, drain your beans. Add the broth to your beans, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook until tender. About 1 hour. Stir gently occasionally. Most of the liquid should have boiled out.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In your dutch oven, heat the bacon grease and then add the onions on medium low. Cook until soft, about 7-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the beans, ketchup, maple syrup, mustard, and vinegar and stir to combine.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to one hour.
  • Add salt to taste if needed.
