    1 clove garlic, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/8 to 1/4 red pepper flakes

  • Cook for 30 minutes, stirring periodically. If needed add water. You do not need a lot of liquid, but you don't want them to burn. So add if necessary. Season with salt if desired.
  • Cook for another 30 minutes until buttery tender and enjoy.

Notes

If you prefer to not have the bacon pieces in the beans, you can cook the slices in them whole and remove to serve.
