Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 pound dried navy beans; 6 slices of bacon, diced; 1 onion, chopped; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1/2 cup bourbon; 1/4 cup molasses; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 4 cups chicken broth; Salt and pepper, to taste; Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Start by rinsing the dried navy beans under cold water and removing any stones or debris. Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy and the fat has rendered. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same pot with the bacon fat, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Drain the soaked beans and add them to the pot with the onions and garlic. Pour in the bourbon, molasses, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer gently. Cover the pot partially with a lid and cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.
Season the Bourbon Beans with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture appears too dry, you can add more chicken broth as needed.
Once the beans are cooked to your liking, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the Bourbon Beans hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and chopped green onions.
