Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon honey 1 sprig rosemary 1 pound dried white beans, such as Great Northern or cannellini, picked over, soaked overnight, and drained 2 bottles Belgian-style white ale (12 ounces each), such as Blue Moon or Hoegaarden 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 to 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, cook bacon over medium until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp and browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Increase heat to medium-high; add onion and garlic to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 4 minutes. Add mustard and honey; cook 1 minute. Add rosemary, beans, beer, and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil; cover and transfer to oven.

Bake until beans are tender and most of liquid is absorbed, about 2 hours. Season to taste with vinegar, salt, and pepper. To serve, stir in reserved cooked bacon.
