Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1 pound Dried beans

3 Thick slices of (Niman Ranch) bacon cut into large strips

1/2 cup Chopped onion

1 Clove garlic, minced

3/4 cup Ketchup

1/2 cup Molasses

3/4 cup Brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard

1 tablespoon Chili Powder

2 tablespoon FK BBQ Rub

Salt to taste

1 Bay leaf

Preparation:

Rinse and soak beans overnight

Put beans in pot with onion, bacon, and bay leaves. Fill with enough water to cover beans by an inch. Bring to a slow boil and add salt when boil commences. Gently boil beans until just tender.

Meanwhile combine all other ingredients to create your bean sauce and set aside.

Drain beans, saving some of the liquid. Transfer beans to an oven-safe pot, mix in your bean sauce, and half of your reserved liquid if needed. Put beans into a 275 F oven right from a boil. Cook, stirring every so often, until a dark, slightly charred look on the top is acquired.
