Cola Beans

Description

This is a favorite at potlucks and barbeques! I’ve often wondered if I get invited for my company or my Cola Beans! I’ve tried several different brands of colas, but have found that Coke® works best. I like to pre-cook the bacon about half-way so it doesn’t make the beans too greasy, but it’s not necessary. This recipe can also be baked in a conventional oven at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour.

Ingredients

  • 4 (28 ounce) cans baked beans, drained
  • ½ pound bacon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can cola soft drink (such as Coke®)

Instructions

  1. In a slow cooker
  2. alternately layer the baked beans
  3. bacon
  4. and brown sugar. Pour in some of the cola with each layer
  5. until all has been used.
  6. Cover
  7. and cook 8 to 10 hours on Low or 4 to 6 hours on High. (See Cook’s Note for oven directions.)
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
