Total Time
1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 15 oz cans great Northern beans (or 4.5-5 cups cooked)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup relish
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons black strap molasses
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. While it’s heating up, go ahead and dice up your onion.
- If you are using canned beans, go ahead and pour them into a colander and run water over them to rinse off.
- Place the beans, diced onion, relish, and sweetener in a 9″x13″ casserole dish. These can also be made in a crockpot if desired. Set to the side while you make the sauce.
- A great thing about this recipe is that it can even be made in a slow cooker. Simply set the temperature to low and let them cook while you work or play for about 4-5 hours.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients–molasses, ketchup, water, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and apple cider vinegar.

- Pour wet mixture over beans mixture that is in the casserole dish and stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Bake in the oven at 375°F for one hour. For the slow cook method, place in crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
