• Tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the beans and cover with water in a large pot.
2. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let soak for about an hour.
3. Meanwhile, combine the horseradish, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, red pepper flakes and salt & pepper with a whisk.
4. Drain the beans and add to a slow cooker. Top with the chopped onion and minced garlic.
5. Pour the sauce over everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 7 hours.
