At a glance
This hearty bacon and bean stew comes together in about 8 hours total, but most of that is hands-off cooking time. The main time commitment is soaking the beans overnight (at least 12 hours), after which you'll sauté bacon and vegetables, then simmer everything together with tomato sauce for a satisfying, high-protein meal.

Soak the beans
Soak the beans in water overnight. The next day, drain the water, rinse the beans, and cover with fresh water. Cook the beans until tender. Don't add salt! Season with salt only after cooking.
