Description

 

These sweet and savory baked beans are slow-cooked to perfection with the unique flavor of root beer. Combined with smoky bacon and tangy barbecue sauce, this dish is a crowd-pleaser for barbecues, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. Easy to make and loaded with bold flavors!

Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 4 slices of thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) navy beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup root beer (not diet)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
  3. Sauté the Onion:
    • Add the chopped onion to the pan with the bacon drippings. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Add the beans, root beer, barbecue sauce, ketchup, molasses, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add the Bacon:
    • Stir in the cooked bacon, reserving a small portion for garnish if desired.
  6. Bake the Beans:
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or pour the mixture into a baking dish if your skillet isn’t oven-safe). Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the beans are bubbly.
  7. Serve:
    • Garnish with the reserved bacon and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use olive oil to sauté the onions.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using less molasses or root beer, depending on your taste.
