Method 5 steps
Cook bacon. Separate the meat from the fat, and chop the bacon.
Place 1 tbsp of the bacon fat into a large stainless steel pan. Add kidney beans and sauté over medium-high heat.
Add rum and tilt to ignite. If you do not have a gas stove, simply light with a fire stick.
Add remaining ingredients and chopped bacon and fold to combine.
Bake in a 325°F oven for 1 ½ hours, adding blackstrap molasses occasionally to prevent drying.
