Ingredients

  • 8 oz. Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Sliced Bacon
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. Kroger® Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Kroger® Ground Mustard
  • 2 tbsp. bourbon
  • 2 tbsp. Kroger® 5% Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 cans (28 oz. each) Kroger® Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans

Directions

  • Heat the bacon in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp. Once it’s crisp, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined pan. Leave the bacon grease in the saucepan.
  • Add the chopped onion to the bacon grease and cook for 3-5 minutes or until softened. Stir in red pepper flakes and mustard powder. Cook for 30-60 seconds to bloom the flavor.
  • Add brown sugar, bourbon and apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce liquids and cook off the alcohol.
  • Stir in beans and reserved bacon. Bring to a low simmer; cook for 3-5 minutes to bring flavors together.
