Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Canned baked beans
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cups Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cups Cola soda (regular, not diet)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned baked beans, brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine.
Add the finely chopped onion, crumbled bacon, and cola soda to the bowl. Stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir again to ensure even seasoning.
Transfer the bean mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the beans from drying out during baking.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to caramelize slightly and develop a golden-brown color.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the baked beans rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish for your favorite main courses, such as barbecue ribs, roasted chicken, or grilled vegetables.
