Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas 4. Heat the oil in a large pan or casserole dish and cook the bacon lardons and onion for 5 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
Stir through the beans, sugar, treacle, mustard, paprika and chopped tomatoes. Add 300ml (½ pt) beef stock so that the beans are just covered then cover the pan with a lid.
