Dr Pepper Baked Beans

When most people think of Maine and food, they think of lobster or blueberries. While those two things are iconic for our state, it’s the baked beans that are CLASSIC Maine. Growing up, the weekends were always filled with baked bean suppers at the Grange hall, it was a part of life and a family tradition. And one of these days I’m going to track down my grandfather’s baked beans recipe.

Traditionally, they’re called Bean-Hole Beans and they’re baked in a cast iron pot in the ground. But it’s November and the ground is getting ready to freeze and most individuals don’t feel like digging a hole to put their dinner in! So today I’m doing a bit of a twist on the down-home classic.

Dr Pepper Baked Beans Recipe

We’re keeping the essentials: molasses and ground mustard. But we’re adding in some Dr Pepper (you can actually use any dark cola you want!) and making them with a combination of stovetop cooking and oven baking.

What I love most about these baked beans is that it’s a super fast recipe in comparison to the traditional cooking method. Instead of the 18 to 24 hours, it takes to cook baked beans from scratch, we’re going to knock it down to just 40 minutes! Sound good? Plus, when you have a great and quick recipe in your pocket, you’re always prepared!

If you like baked beans, you might also enjoy these recipes:

  • Whiskey Honey Pulled Pork
  • Corn Mac and Cheese
  • Corn Chowder
  • Best Ever Baked Potatoes
  • Baked Cajun Chicken Skewers
These Dr Pepper Baked Beans are ready in less than an hour!

Baked beans are great as a full meal and also make an excellent side dish for Thanksgiving and game days! Plus there are so many different ways to prepare them and so many different flavors. Some like them spicy and I LOVE adding peaches to mine every once in awhile. Some add bacon and some add salt pork and then there are recipes like this that have neither. It’s all up to you.

But if you’re looking for a recipe that’s quick and delicious, go for this one. With the addition of Dr Pepper and it’s 23 flavors to the recipe, we’re able to make up for any flavor we might have lost from speeding up the cooking process! What’s your favorite way to make baked beans?

      Hi Michelle, Northern beans may need to cook longer, but you can use Navy beans as well.

      I’m sure they can be, but I’m not sure on the timing, my guess is 3 to 4 hours.

    These look absolutely wonderful! A couple of years ago I made a Dr Pepper marinade for our Thanksgiving turkey and it was delicious. I’m looking forward to adding this to our family table next week. #client
