Ingredients:
– 3 bacon slices
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 16-ounce cans pork and beans
– 1/2 cup root beer (not diet)
– 1/4 cup smoky barbecue sauce
– 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it’s perfectly crispy. Once done, transfer it to paper towels to drain, but don’t forget to save about 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet. Crumble that crunchy bacon for later!
3. Now, in those delicious bacon drippings, sauté the diced onion over high heat for about 5 minutes, or until it’s tender and fragrant.
4. In a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish, combine the sautéed onion, crumbled bacon, pork and beans, root beer, BBQ sauce, and a dash of hot sauce.
5. Pop it into the oven and bake uncovered for 55 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the flavors really meld together.
6. Enjoy these flavorful Root Beer Baked Beans as an irresistible side dish with your favorite grilled meats, or serve them up as a hearty addition to any meal!
