Root Beer Baked Beans

These are great to make ahead of time and are really a meal in themselves. I typically serve them with a big green salad and a side of sautéed corn for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

  • 3 bacon slices cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups finely chopped onions
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 15-ounce cans cannellini or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup gluten-free artisanal root beer
  • 3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce or more to taste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cook the sliced bacon in a large, deep, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from pan.
  • Add the onions to the pan. Sauté until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add the beans, root beer, vinegar, sugar, tomato paste, mustard, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the bacon and bring to a boil.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until the liquid thickens, about 30 minutes. Serve topped with green onions for garnish.
