Ingredients
1 bag dried great northern beans, cooked according to package instructions and with 2 tbsp dry BBQ rub, 2 bay leaves, tbsp black pepper corns and 3 cloves garlic smashed (only beans and 1 tbsp BBQ rub are included in calorie count as other items are discarded). Drain them, but reserve 1 cup cooking liquid.1 medium onion, diced3 cloves garlic minced1 stalk celery minced 1 cup organic canned diced tomatoes2 tbsp low sugar ketchup4 tbsp Dijon whole grain mustard1.5 tbsp pure maple syrup1.5 tbsp dark agave syrup2 tbsp dry pork BBQ rub (look for one that's lower in sugar)2 tsp hickory liquid smoke1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp smoked paprika1 tbsp dried onion flakesSalt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a non stick dutch oven over medium high heat cook onion and celery until translucent, adding a splash of water or stock if it sticks. Add garlic and sauté 30 second to one minute longer, until it becomes fragrant... But don't burn it.

Add beans and the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Once the mixture is lightly boiling check the consistency, you want it to be slightly soupy as it will thicken in the oven. If it isn't soupy enough, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid. Cover with the lid and bake for 45 minutes. If beans are too soupy after 45 minutes, uncover and cook 15 minutes longer.
