Units of Measurement:
main
1 Pound Navy beans, dried, rinsed
2 Quart water
1 Large yellow onion, diced
1 bay leaf
2 Clove garlic, minced
8 Ounce (1/2 lb) bacon, chopped
3/4 Cup Pure maple syrup, preferably Grade B
1/3 Cup ketchup
1/4 Cup Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce
1 1/2 Dried mustard
1 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

  • 1

    Plan ahead: This recipe requires overnight time. In a 2-1/2 quart Dutch oven or a large saucepan, add the beans and water. Soak for 8 hours, or overnight.

  • 2

    On the stovetop over medium-high heat, bring the beans to a boil. Add the onion, bay leaf, garlic, and bacon and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the beans until tender, 1-1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Discard the bay leaf.

  • 3

    Stir in the maple syrup, ketchup, Traeger 'QUE BBQ Sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Return the beans to the Dutch oven, or transfer to a 2-1/2 quart bean pot. Cover the beans with a lid or foil.

  • 4

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 300°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    300 ˚F / 149 ˚C

  • 5

    Place the Dutch oven directly on the grill grates. Close the lid, and cook for 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally or until very tender and flavorful, adding some of the reserved bean cooking liquid if the beans seem too dry. Uncover for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
