Ingredients
  • 1 pound dried Great Northern beans
  • 12 oz. bacon, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapenos, chopped
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
  1. Soak beans in enough water to completely cover them for 8-12 hours. If you aren't able to use them immediately, seal them in a zip top bag and pop in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees F.
  3. Cook bacon, onion, and jalapenos in a dutch oven over medium heat. Cook until the bacon fat has rendered and softens the onions, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add in tomato paste, brown sugar and molasses. Stir to combine.
  5. Add in drained, pre-soaked beans and 4 cups of chicken broth.
  6. Bring to a boil and stir in cayenne, black pepper and salt.
  7. Cover with lid and cook for 6-8 hours in the oven.
