Crockpot Bacon Bourbon Baked Beans Recipes

BOURBON BAKED BEANS - SLOW COOKER RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the bacon in slow cooker & stir.
• Cover & cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 3-5 hours. Stir every 30-60 minutes.
• About 20 minutes before serving add the cooked bacon crumbles.
• NOTE - if they start getting a little dry or pasty you can add a little more water to thin it out. But this is a sign that they have cooked for too long & you want to serve soon.

SLOW COOKER BOURBON BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon fat for 3-4 minutes.
• Place onions and all other ingredients, except bacon, in a 6-quart crockpot. Stir well, cover, and cook on low for 4 hours.
• Remove top, turn heat to high and cook 20 minutes to thicken some. Stir in bacon.

CROCKPOT BACON BOURBON BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• The night before, add beans to a large pot and cover with water. Drain the next morning.
• Bring beans to a boil in a large pot of water, let simmer for 30-40 minutes, then drain. While beans are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until crispy and fat is rendered, then remove bacon with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Reduce heat to medium-low and add onion, cooking for 8-10 minutes, until caramely and soft. Add in garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then turn off heat.
• Add water, bourbon, brown sugar, bbq sauce, ketchup, ground mustard, vinegar, molasses and worcestershire sauce to the crockpot and whisk well to combine. Add in beans, onions (and all of the bacon fat) and bacon to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours, stirring occasionally. After 10-12 hours, turn crockpot to "warm" setting or turn off completely and let sit anywhere from 30 minutes-2 hours, which will help the sauce for the beans thicken even more. These taste even better the next day!
• Note: after 10-12 hours the liquid may still seem "liquidy." It is imperative to let the beans sit for a while on the lower setting (or on the off setting, still covered) so they become thick and syrupy like traditional baked beans.

BOURBON AND DP BAKED BEANS

• 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.
