Preparation
Step 1
If using dried beans, soak the beans in water overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain the beans then cover with cold water in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the beans for 1 hour or until fork tender. Drain, then set aside. If using canned beans, move on to next step.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large pan or dutch oven, add the beans, onion, garlic, paprika, oil, molasses, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, tomatoes and BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Bake for 40 minutes or until all is thickened and creamy. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
