Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon
  • 1/2 sweet onion
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 mango diced
  • 48 ounce jar cooked Great Northern beans

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and add to the hot skillet. Fry, stirring often, until just starting to crisp.
  • Meanwhile, dice the onion and jalapeno pepper. Add to the skillet with the bacon and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • In a small sauce pan set over low heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over and then remove from heat.
  • Add the diced mangos to the sauce. Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth.
  • Alternately, pour the sauce into a blender of food processor and process until smooth. Be sure to vent the lid so that steam can escape and start with a low speed.
  • When the sauce is smooth, add to the pan of bacon and onions. Add the beans and stir to coat in the sauce.
  • Place beans in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 50 minutes.
