Bourbon Baked Beans Recipes

BOURBON AND DP BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. Pour in bourbon, stirring to scrape up browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir bacon strips back in.
• Pour brown sugar mixture and baked beans into the Dutch oven. Simmer until beans are heated through, about 15 minutes. Arrange remaining 4 slices of bacon on top of the beans.
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered, until beans are bubbly and sauce is syrupy, about 3 hours.

THE BEST BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and toast, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes.
• Add the beans and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. (If the beans are still slightly firm, continue cooking, stirring every 45 minutes and adding more water if necessary to just cover.)
• Once the beans are tender, uncover and increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until the beans are thick and browned, about 1 more hour. (Again, if the beans need more time, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.) Remove from the oven and thin with water if necessary.

BOURBON BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Soak beans in enough water to cover by double their volume overnight. In the morning, discard the water and rinse beans. In an eight-quart pot, cook bacon over medium heat. Once the bacon has started to brown slightly, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add tomato paste, stir and cook for one minute. Add the remaining ingredients and beans (except for the salt, which will keep the beans from softening if added early) and cook over low heat for 4-6 hours, or until beans are soft. Once beans have softened, season to taste with salt and cook another hour. You may have to add water to maintain the consistency. If beans are still too wet after the allotted cooking time, then raise heat to medium and simmer until desired consistency has been reached.
