Ingredients

1/2 cup light unsulfured molasses

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

3 cans (15 ounces each) navy beans, drained and rinsed

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 large onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick

4 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine molasses, ketchup, and mustard. Add beans, and season with salt and pepper; mix to combine.

Transfer to a 2- to 3-quart covered baking dish. Scatter onion over beans; then lay bacon slices on top, in a single layer, covering onion as completely as possible.

Cover dish and bake, 30 minutes. Uncover; cook until bacon is crispy, 30 to 40 minutes more. Let sit 5 minutes; mix well before serving.
