1 pound Dried Great Northern Beans, Sorted To Remove Debris And Rinsed
12 ounces, weight Bacon, Chopped
1 whole Yellow Onion, Chopped
2 whole Jalapenos, Chopped
1/4 cups Tomato Paste
1/4 cups Brown Sugar
1/4 cups Molasses
4 cups Chicken Broth
1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Powder

1
Soak beans in enough water to completely cover them for 8-12 hours. If you aren't able to use them immediately, drain them, seal them in a zip top bag and pop in the fridge for up to 4 days.
2
Preheat oven to 250 F.
3
Cook bacon, onion, and jalapenos in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook until the bacon fat has rendered and softens the onions, about 5-7 minutes. Add tomato paste, brown sugar and molasses. Stir to combine.
4
Add the drained, pre-soaked beans and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and stir in cayenne, black pepper and salt. Cover with lid and cook for 6-8 hours in the oven. Remove from oven and serve.
