30 Minute Bourbon Baked Beans made possible by starting off using canned beans instead of dried. If you\u2019re looking for a quick and delicious side to set out for cookouts, parties, or gamedays, this is your recipe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, full disclosure here, these take 30 minutes to bake but about 10 minutes or so to prepare, so realistically it\u2019s 40 minutes. If I called them 40 minutes beans would it have caught your attention? The important thing is it only takes 30 minutes of baking time. These babies are the closest thing to slow cooked beans without opening up a can of the super sweet stuff on the market shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of flavors going on here and the addition of bourbon takes these over the top. You have the sweetness from the ketchup and molasses, a little spice from the mustard, and a touch of heat from some hot sauce. Want to know the secret ingredient? Liquid smoke<\/a> is what keeps them coming back. Well the bourbon helps too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use pinto beans<\/a> which tend to hold their shape better than navy beans. I\u2019ve switched out a can for navy beans and found they broke down a bit which produced a thicker texture to the pot of beans. You can also use kidney, northern, or a combination of beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diced bacon is cooked until the fat is rendered and that fat is used to cook the onions. That process takes about 5 - 8 minutes. The remaining ingredients are combined and then the pan<\/a> is placed in the oven and baked for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molasses<\/a> is the only additional sweetener used as the ketchup is sweet enough. This is a side dish, not a dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you have 30 minute bourbon baked beans that you\u2019d swear took 7 hours. Since it\u2019s baked uncovered, the edges and top are beautifully caramelized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
