DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.


Step 2

Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. 


Step 3

Leave the fat from the bacon in the pan, and use it to saute the onion and carrot for 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. 


Step 4

Add the tomato paste and saute another couple of minutes, until the veggies are nice and caramelized. Add in the salt, ginger, dried mustard and paprika. 


Step 5

Add in the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, molasses, rosemary and thyme sprigs and bring to a boil. Return the cooked bacon pieces to the pot.


Step 6

Reduce to a simmer and add the beans. Simmer for 5-10 minutes on the stovetop. 


Step 7

Place beans in the pre-heated oven and bake, covered, for about 20 minutes. 


Step 8

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
