3 B's Baked Beans...because everything is better with Bacon, Bourbon and Brown Sugar

Summer is here and it's time for grilling and delicious homecooked food. Baked beans are easy to cheat with by grabbing a can of it at the store and heating it up nice and quick. However, we wanted to try the real deal and they are far superior with no high-fructose corn syrup and no preservatives!


Ingredients

• 1 lb dry Navy Beans (aka Great Northern's)


• 4 slices thick bacon, diced


• 1 cup packed brown sugar


• 2/3 cup Bourbon


• 1/2 cup Stoneground or Dijon Mustard


• Water


• Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste

Directions

1. Sort through beans and remove any pebbles, foreign objects, etc


2. Soak beans for about one hour in water at room temperature.


3. Cook diced bacon until nice and crispy


4. Put bacon, grease and all into crockpot (how else do you think baked beans taste so good?)


5. Add brown sugar, bourbon, mustard (to give some tang), and drained beans


6. Add enough water to cover beans with an additional inch or so above them


7. Cook overnight or all day. Add water if things are drying out


8. Add salt and pepper to taste
9. Enjoy!
