If using dried beans, soak the beans in water overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain the beans then cover with cold water in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the beans for 1 hour or until fork tender. Drain, then set aside. If using canned beans, move on to next step.
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large pan or dutch oven, add the beans, onion, garlic, paprika, oil, molasses, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, tomatoes and BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine.
Bake for 40 minutes or until all is thickened and creamy. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
