Dr Pepper Baked Beans

Grilling season is upon us and few side dishes are as essential to a summer picnic as baked beans. These Dr Pepper Baked Beans have been a family favorite for years!

I love bacon, I love baked beans, and I love Dr. Pepper.

Have I mentioned that before? Maybe in this Dr Pepper BBQ Pork recipe.

Now this recipe combines all those loves to make a great side dish for anything on the grill.

Sweet and tangy beans, made easy by a dump it and forget it approach.

No need to cook the beans for hours. Just start with a couple cans of baked beans and Dr them up (see what I did there?).

Add in bacon, onions, Dr. Pepper, plus some seasonings and you are on your way.

One of the key ingredients in this dish is the ground mustard. It gives the beans such a great tang and flavor. Trust me on this one and don’t leave it out.

A go-to side dish for Perfectly Grilled Steak or a great Grilled Cheeseburger.

Just be warned if you bring these Dr Pepper Baked Beans to any summer picnic or family potluck, take along the printout. I guarantee you will be asked for the recipe.
