COLA BEANS

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.

Categories     Bean     Mustard     Pork     Side     Bake     Bacon     Fall     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups (or more) Coca-Cola
3 15- to 16-ounce cans assorted beans (such as kidney, black and pinto), drained
6 bacon slices, quartered crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Oil 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in 1 1/4 cups Coca-Cola. Add beans; stir to blend. Transfer to prepared dish. Top bean mixture with bacon pieces. Bake until bacon is crisp and bean mixture is hot and bubbling, about 1 hour. If mixture is dry, pour 1/4 cup more Coca-Cola over bean mixture to moisten. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, plump beans, flavorful bacon, and a rich, dark Coca-Cola.
  • Simmer low and slow: Allow the beans to simmer for at least 2 hours, or even longer, to develop deep flavor and tender texture.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: A combination of brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce adds a delicious depth of flavor to the beans.
  • Bake until bubbly: Baking the beans in the oven helps to caramelize the sauce and create a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Coca-Cola baked beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
