Method

Preheat the oven to 325°F.


Cook bacon in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it starts to release its fat.


Add olive oil and onion and cook until translucent and soft, 5 to 7 minutes.


Stir in tomato paste, sugar, molasses, chile powder, mustard and vinegar until well combined and cook for 1 minute.


Add beans, broth, salt and pepper and stir gently to combine.


Cover skillet tightly with a lid or foil and bake until beans are just tender, about 1 hour.


Remove lid, add more broth if needed to moisten beans and continue to bake, uncovered, until top is browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes more. Serve hot.
