Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried beans (such as navy beans or pinto beans)
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Rinse the beans under cold water and remove any debris. Soak the beans overnight in a large bowl with enough water to cover them completely.
-
In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
-
Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
-
Drain the soaked beans and add them to the pot along with the chicken broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
-
Remove the bay leaves and stir in the cooked bacon. Serve hot and enjoy!
