Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon fat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked onion and garlic with the drained kidney beans, black beans, and cannellini beans.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beans and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the bean mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked bacon on top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your 3 Bean Casserole Bourbon Beans as a delicious side or main dish!
