Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes.

Add onion and garlic cloves and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Add tomato paste, chicken broth, brown sugar, honey, sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and freshly ground pepper and stir to mix.

Stir in pinto beans, increase heat to high, and bring mixture to a boil. Transfer to oven and bake, uncovered, until beans are tender and mixture is thickened, 40 to 45 minutes.
