Ingredients

• 4 cups Canned baked beans
• 1 cup Dr Pepper soda
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Step 3

Drain off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

Step 4

Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baked beans, Dr Pepper soda, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Fold in the sautéed onion and garlic along with half of the crumbled bacon. Stir until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining bacon crumbles over the top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the beans rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite barbecue or grilled meats. Enjoy!
