BROWN SWERVE BAKED BEANS

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Place beans in a large bowl and cover with water at least 2 inches over beans. Let sit for at least 24 hours.

Step 2

Drain water from beans and rinse well.

Step 3

Chop onion and bacon into small, bite sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large, heavy pot, add bacon and cook until fat is rendered. Add onion and sauté until fragrant.

Step 5

Add beans, ketchup, Brown Swerve, salt & pepper, and water. Mix well.

Step 6

Bring beans to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Let beans cook on the stovetop for 2 - 2.5 hours, or until desired texture is reached (larger beans may take longer to cook).

Makes about 12 servings.  

Note: You can skip step 1 and use plain canned beans, and reduce the cooking time to 1 hour.
