Description
I came up with this recipe after having made some bourbon baked beans and seeing a recipe for cola baked beans and I thought: Why not combine the two?
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (12 fl oz) can caffeinated pepper-type soda (such as Dr Pepper®)
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup bourbon
- 2 (16 ounce) cans baked beans with pork
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix brown sugar
- paprika
- mustard
- and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Whisk in pepper soda
- ketchup
- and Worcestershire sauce until brown sugar is dissolved.
- Cut 4 slices of bacon into small strips. Cook and stir in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until almost crispy
- 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl
- reserving bacon grease.
- Stir onion into the bacon grease in the Dutch oven; cook and stir until soft
- 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Pour in bourbon
- stirring to scrape up browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir bacon strips back in.
- Pour brown sugar mixture and baked beans into the Dutch oven. Simmer until beans are heated through
- about 15 minutes. Arrange remaining 4 slices of bacon on top of the beans.
