- 1 teaspoon olive oil , plus 1/2 teaspoon for greasing the baking dish.
- 1 slice bacon
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 1 15.5-ounce can Cannellini or Great Northern beans , rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and set rack to middle rack position.
Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp; remove bacon and set aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add chopped onions to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
Stir in the beans and the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for 1 to 2 minutes, until mixture is heated through and beginning to simmer. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir the bacon pieces into the bean mixture.
Lightly grease a 5-inch baking dish (or use an oven-safe dish of similar size) with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Pour beans and sauce into the prepared baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
