Steps

1Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon lardons and cook until brown and crisped. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.
2Remove the grease from the skillet and then add the ground beef. Cook the ground beef until brown, over medium high heat. Once brown, add the diced bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
3Add the drained and rinsed navy beans, ground beef mixture, and bacon to the slow cooker.
4Next add the barbecue sauce, ketchup, water, molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
5Cook the beans on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. Stir the beans halfway through.
6Once done cooking, stir and serve immediately. Enjoy!
