Root Beer Baked Beans

This weekend, Sams club was giving out free cookbook for giving them your email address. So many good recipes in this cookbook and this was one! We decided to make a pulled pork for dinner, so my mom wanted to try the Root Beer Baked Beans to go along with it. We plan on saving some for Easter too (we will have to make Easter easy this year, because the hubby and I are moving Easter weekend!!). These are so tasty! My recipe is slightly different from the cookbook, so I will post what I made. Root Beer Baked Beans 1 medium onion diced 5 strips of bacon diced (I used cooked peppered bacon pieces- I think Hormel is the brand) 2 cans baked beans (28 oz each)- I used Bush's Honey baked beans and Maple Cured Bacon baked beans 3/4 cup root beer 1/3 cup barbeque sauce 1/2 tsp mustard powder 1. In large deep skillet, saute onion (if using raw bacon cook with onion until bacon is crisp). If using cooked bacon pieces, add after onion has softened and cook until bacon is fragrant and heated through. 2. Add cans of baked beans, root beer, barbeque sauce and mustard powder. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until slightly thicekend. You can serve at this point or put in an oven proof dish and continue heating in the oven. I served after heating on the stove.
