Dr. Pepper Baked Beans
The rich flavor of molasses and barbecue sauce pairs perfectly with the subtle spice of Dr. Pepper.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon diced
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 12 fl oz Dr. Pepper
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 3 15 oz cans pinto beans drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven or outdoor grill to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat. Once about half cooked, about 3 minutes, add the onions and cook on medium-low heat for 8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato sauce, Dr. Pepper, barbecue sauce, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and mustard powder. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and bring to a simmer.
