How to Make Bacon N Pinto Beans

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 1/4 cup of the rendered bacon fat.
2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of pinto beans, drained and rinsed. Add 4 cups of beef broth, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of reserved bacon fat.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours or overnight for best flavor).
6. Stir in the cooked bacon, crumbled. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
7. Serve hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite BBQ feast!
