1

Soak dry navy beans in water overnight.

2

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

3

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy; remove and crumble.

4

Sauté onion and garlic in the bacon fat until softened, about 5 minutes.

5

Add soaked beans, crumbled bacon, ham hocks, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, barbecue sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and apple cider vinegar to a large pot.

6

Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

7

Pour in enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch.

8

Add bay leaves and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

9

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.

10

Check beans for doneness; they should be tender and sauce thickened.

11

Remove ham hocks, shred meat, and stir back into the beans before serving.
