I found this recipe in an issue of Southern Living. I changed it up just a bit. The root beer sweetens the baked beans!
Ingredients:
3 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 (16 ounce) cans pork and beans, undrained
1/2 cup root beer (not diet)
1/3 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon tabasco sauce
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet.
2. Crumble bacon and set aside.
3. Sauté diced onions and garlic in hot bacon drippings in skillet over high heat for about 5 minutes or until tender.
4. Remove skillet from heat and add crips bacon, beans, rootbeer, barbecue sauce, dry mustard and Tabasco to the skillet; stir until well combined.
5. Pour bean mixture into a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish.
6. Bake beans, uncovered, at 400°F for 55 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
