Root beer adds an intriguing flavor to baked beans with bacon, onions, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. This is a great way to punch up canned baked beans. Best of all, it is fast and easy to make on the stove-top.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 strips bacon, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 can (36 ounces) baked beans
  • 1/2 cup root beer
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 3 drops hot pepper sauce
  • Pinch of ground pepper
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Pinch of brown sugar

Preparation:

Cook bacon with onion in medium-sized saucepan until bacon is brown and crisp.

Add baked beans, root beer, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, pepper sauce, ground pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Heat to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring often until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.

Yield: 6 servings
