Recipe Tips

  • If you are using dried beans, soak them in water for about eight hours before draining. Next, boil them in freshwater over the stove for fifteen minutes.
  • The beans come out to have quite a bit of sweetness to them. If you are not a fan of your beans being sweet, then I recommend that you half the amount of sugar in this dish.
  • You can make these beans vegetarian by simply leaving out the bacon. You will lose a bit of flavor, but it is perfect for anyone on a vegetarian diet.
  • The honey can be replaced with molasses. Pick whatever sweetener you prefer the most.
