Baked Beans in Coffee

Baked beans are one of my favourite pot-luck foods. I am often asked for this recipe but never took the time to write it down until now.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups dried navy beans

2 cups brewed coffee

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 (5.5 ounce) can GF tomato paste

2 tablespoon melted GF bacon drippings

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 tablespoons mustard

2 teaspoons prepared minced ginger

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1 onion, chopped

DIRECTIONS

Place the beans in a large bowl, cover completely with water and let soak overnight.

Drain and rinse the beans and place in a crock-pot along with the onion.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the beans.

Cover and cook on high for 7 to 8 hours, until all the liquid is absorbed and the beans are cooked through.

Enjoy!
