Ingredients:

• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 (15-ounce) cans navy beans, rinsed and drained
• ½ cup honey
• ½ cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2. In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon and onion until the onion is tender and the bacon is crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
3. Transfer the bacon mixture to a large bowl. Add the navy beans, honey, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the mixture is hot and the sauce has thickened and is bubbly, about 30 minutes longer.
