Categories     Side

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

12-14 bacon slices (cooked and diced)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 (53 ounce) cans pork and beans
1/3 cup root beer
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 jalapeños (sliced)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9 x 9 inch baking pan (or 9 x 13 inch pan) with non stick cooking spray.
  • Cook bacon over the stove until desired doneness (I like mine crunchy, but I usually do it a little underdone, because it bakes in the oven as well).
  • After the bacon is cooked, crumble it up into a bowl and add black pepper and maple syrup. Toss until well combined.
  • In a larger bowl, combine the baked beans, root beer, brown sugar, molasses and cayenne pepper.
  • Add in half of the bacon crumbles.
  • Pour the mixture into the sprayed pan. Sprinkle the rest of the bacon on top, as well as the jalapeños if desired.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is heated through, and the edges begin to bubble.
  • Remove from oven and eat warm.

ROOT BEER BAKED BEANS WITH BACON RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Root Beer Baked Beans with Bacon Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 18

BEANS:
4 strips thick-sliced bacon, diced
SWEAT:
2 cups diced onions
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
DEGLAZE:
2 cups root beer
2 cans pinto beans (15-ounces each), drained and rinsed
1 can tomato purée (10.75-ounces)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons each, Worcestershire sauce and cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon each, Tabasco sauce, root beer extract, and kosher salt
TOPPING, PULSE:
3 slices white bread, buttered
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. For the beans, cook bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Sweat onions, bell pepper, and garlic in drippings over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Deglaze skillet with root beer and bring to a boil; cook until root beer nearly evaporated, 10 minutes. Stir in beans, tomato purée, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, Tabasco, root beer extract, salt, and bacon; bring to a simmer. Transfer beans to a 2-quart baking dish. For the topping, pulse bread in a food processor to crumbs. Add parsley; pulse to combine. Top beans with bread crumb mixture; bake until topping is toasted and beans are bubbly, 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight in cold water to reduce cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor. Some good options include pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Add a ham hock or smoked sausage to the pot for extra flavor. You can also add other vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery.
  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Bake the beans at a low temperature for several hours, or until they are tender and flavorful.
