Ingredients
- 1 pound dry great northern beans soaked overnight in water and then drained
- 5 cups chicken stock 1 small onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- Pinch or two smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 12 ounce apple smoked bacon crisped and chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- Pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add the soaked beans to a large pot. Add in the chicken stock, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, the ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, tomato paste, and paprika.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer the beans for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally (you may need to add the additional water during the last part of the cooking process if the beans become too thick), or until the beans are tender and the sauce is rich and thick.
- Once the beans are tender, turn off the heat; add in the crisped and chopped bacon, molasses, the maple syrup and the bourbon, and stir to combine.
- Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with the cilantro. Serve warm along side your best BBQ dishes!
