GAPS Barbecue Baked Beans

GAPS Barbecue Baked BeansKids will love these GAPS barbecue baked beans, and you can bring them to a summer barbecue party, too!

You know not to use canned foods, right? Cans are lined with BPA, an endocrine disruptor.

It’ll take a little longer to soak and cook these beans from scratch, but it’s worth it knowing that your food is cleaner.

Serves:  8

Prep time:  10 minutes

Cook time:  1 hour, 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 large green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups navy beans (soaked overnight or for 8 hours; rinsed)
  • 1 cup Paleo barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons raw, local honey

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, place navy beans and cover with an inch of water. Put lid on and heat over medium-high heat. When beans begin to foam, lower heat to low and skim off foam. Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until soft.
Step 3
Place a dutch oven or heavy pot on medium heat. Heat oil, then and add onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute until slightly softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and add beans, barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, and honey. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Place lid on pot and transfer pot to oven. Bake for 1 hour, minimum, longer if you want a thicker sauce.
