These Baked Beans are so good and the perfect side for any dish! It is a tasty blend of pork and beans and the added veggies, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, Mustard, Worcheshire sauce, and of course Dr. Pepper create an amazing blend of flavors that will dance on your tongue with every bite.

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Pork & Beans: You can use a can of pork and beans, but I prefer making my own.

Bacon: Crispy and crunchy bacon will add more flavor and texture.

Brown Sugar: I like using brown sugar in my baked beans to add a sweet and rich flavor.

Sauce Ingredients: BBQ Sauce, Yellow Mustard, and Worcheshire Sauce will give you sweet, tangy, and savory baked beans.

Dr. Pepper: This will add a delicious and unique flavor to the recipe. You can use diet dr pepper if needed.

How To Make Dr Pepper Baked Beans

Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees. Add all the ingredients into a large bowl and combine until fully incorporated.

Step 2. Add the mixture into a large oven-safe skillet or in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place into the oven for 2 hours depending on how you like your beans. If you want thick and stickier beans, keep them in for longer than 2 hours. If you like them saucier, keep them in for 1 1/2 hours or more until you reach your desired beans.

Tips & Tricks:

Here are a few great tips and tricks for the best-baked beans:

  • If you want to use a slow cooker, add the mixture into the cooker and cook for 3-4 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high.
  • Precooked bacon is a huge time saver for this recipe.
  • If you don’t have BBQ Sauce, Ketchup will work just fine.
  • I like adding a kick of spice by putting in some diced jalapenos or chipotle.
  • You can use any bell pepper for these beans instead of green.
