  • 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

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook bacon. Separate the meat from the fat, and chop the bacon.

    Add remaining ingredients and chopped bacon and fold to combine.

    Bake in a 325°F oven for 1 ½ hours, adding blackstrap molasses occasionally to prevent drying.
