  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  4. Once onions are cooked, pour in beef broth and scrape up all brown bits from bottom of pan.
  5. Add BBQ sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard and tomato puree. Mix until everything comes together and is fully coated. Then add beans to fully coat.
  6. Return bacon pieces to Dutch oven, and stir until combined with beans.
  7. Cover Dutch oven, and place it in preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes until it’s bubbly.
  8. Taste for salt and pepper, and serve.
