Method

Pour navy beans in large bowl, cover completely with water, 2 to 3 inches above beans. Cover and soak beans overnight. Put beans in a large pot and cook 1-2 hours until tender. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover skillet with 4 tablespoons olive oil. Saute onions and garlic until soft, but not browned. In same skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Deglaze pan with 1 can chicken broth (about 12-14 oz). In a large mixing bowl, combine beans with onion mixture, remaining olive oil and deglazed juices. Add rice syrup, catsup, BBQ sauce, lemon juice, remaining chicken broth, spices and herbs and mix well. Transfer mixture to a large casserole. Top with chopped bacon before cooking. Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot.

 

Notes: These beans are excellent at a cookout and it also makes even the most hardy sugar-free eater's mouth water. See recipes for sugar free catsup and barbecue sauce on this web site.
