Ingredients
5 slices bacon, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 (36-ounce) can baked beans, preferably Bush’s
1 cup root beer (regular, not diet)
2 tablespoons dark molasses
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 to 3 whole ribs celery
Instructions
- Cook the bacon with the onions in a medium saucepan over a grill or side burner until the bacon is brown and crisp, and the onions have become transparent and are just starting to brown.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove the celery and serve the beans hot.
