Ingredients

  • 6 rashers thick cut bacon, sliced (or 5 drops liquid smoke)
  • 4 cups canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup blackstrap molasses, plus more as needed
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp dark rum
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dry mustard

Directions

  1. Cook bacon. Separate the meat from the fat, and chop the bacon.
  2. Place 1 tbsp of the bacon fat into a large stainless steel pan. Add kidney beans and sauté over medium-high heat.
  3. Add rum and tilt to ignite. If you do not have a gas stove, simply light with a fire stick.
  4. Add remaining ingredients and chopped bacon and fold to combine.
  5. Bake in a 325°F oven for 1 ½ hours, adding blackstrap molasses occasionally to prevent drying.
