INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🧂 ½ cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
    • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 (12 fl oz) can caffeinated pepper-type soda (such as Dr Pepper)
    • 🍅 ¾ cup ketchup
    • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
    • ¼ cup bourbon

  • Meat and Beans

    • 🥓 8 slices bacon
    • 2 (16 ounce) cans baked beans with pork

  • Vegetables and Aromatics

    • 🧅 1 large onion, finely chopped
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Mix brown sugar, paprika, mustard, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Whisk in pepper soda, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until brown sugar is dissolved.

3

Cut 4 slices of bacon into small strips. Cook and stir in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until almost crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, reserving bacon grease.

4

Stir onion into the bacon grease in the Dutch oven; cook and stir until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute.

5

Pour in bourbon, stirring to scrape up browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir bacon strips back in.

6

Pour brown sugar mixture and baked beans into the Dutch oven. Simmer until beans are heated through, about 15 minutes.

7

Arrange remaining 4 slices of bacon on top of the beans.

8

Bake in the preheated oven, covered, until beans are bubbly and sauce is syrupy, about 2½ to 3 hours.
