For the best flavor, use an artisanal root beer made with cane sugar (not corn syrup). We like Faygo and Fitz's, but many more options are available online . Ingredients:
4 slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces |
3 1/2 cups chopped onions |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 15-ounce cans cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained |
1 1/2 cups root beer (preferably artisanal) |
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook bacon in large ovenproof pot over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add onions to drippings in pot; cook until beginning to brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Add beans, root beer, vinegar, molasses, tomato paste, mustard, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; mix. Stir in bacon; bring to boil. Transfer to oven; bake uncovered until liquid thickens, about 30 minutes.
