These beans may take half a day to prepare, but once you taste them, you'll realize it's worth the effort and much more delicious than canned bean snacks. White beans are baked in a Dutch oven at medium heat with flavorful fried bacon, tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, and spices. Together, these ingredients imbue the dish with a rich bouquet of aromas and flavors and give it a rich, appetizing color. This hearty dish can be served hot or cold, making it an excellent picnic appetizer, sandwich, or side dish for meat.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the beans and 8 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and place in the oven. Cook in the oven until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. If they are still a little firm after this time, continue baking, stirring every 45 minutes and adding more water if necessary to ensure the beans are covered.

  3. Once the beans are tender, remove the lid and increase the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake until the beans darken and thicken, about 1 hour more. Again, if the beans need more time, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed. Remove the pot from the oven and thin with water if necessary.
