Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This initial step is crucial as the right temperature ensures your dish bakes properly, achieving that tremendous bubbly effect.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. The bacon not only adds flavor but also contributes a satisfying crunch to the dish. Remove it from the skillet and drain it on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pan.
-
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be tremendous, signaling that you’re on the right path.
-
In a large bowl, combine the baked beans, root beer, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and mustard. The root beer strikes the perfect balance with the sweetness of the brown sugar, creating a complex sauce. Stir in the cooked onion and crumbled bacon, making sure everything is well blended.
-
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, until bubbly and slightly thickened. This step allows the flavors to meld together in a tremendous way, creating a mouthwatering dish.
-
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite meats or enjoy them by themselves!
