This side dish can be made entirely ahead and reheated at your campsite—almost as easy as cracking a can of beans, but way more delicious.

Ingredients

1 tsp canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fancy molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
2 540-mL cans navy bean, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup water

Instructions

Heat a medium saucepan over medium. Add oil, then onion. Cook until onion is soft, about 4 min.
Stir in molasses, maple syrup, tomato paste, mustard, salt and paprika. Add beans and water. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until beans are brown and sauce is thickened, about 25 min. Serve with Mexican Chicken Scallopini Fajitas.
