Step 1

Cook and stir bacon and onions in Dutch oven or small stockpot on medium heat until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon mixture from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings from pan.

Step 2

Add beans and broth to reserved drippings; mix well. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. Add bacon mixture and all remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Return to boil; cook, uncovered, 7 to 9 min. or until beans are cooked to desired doneness, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Use slotted spoon to transfer bean mixture to serving dish, reserving broth mixture in pan; cover beans to keep warm. Cook broth mixture 2 to 3 min. or until thickened to syrup-like consistency, stirring frequently. Pour over bean mixture.
