Tired of the same old boring baked beans recipe? Then you need to try this recipe where the beans are infused with some Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.
As you would expect, this recipe is super simple to make and ready to eat in about 30 minutes. This makes it a good candidate for busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time on your hands.
If you like your beans to have that awesome smokey flavor, you can optionally add a teaspoon of liquid smoke.
Since liquid smoke is not common in many kitchens, you can leave it out and it won’t impact the overall flavor of this delicious side dish.
I usually have just about every type of mustard available in my fridge. But if you don’t have any spicy brown mustard and don’t want to buy a bottle just for this recipe, you can easily substitute for some Dijon mustard.
Or as a last resort, you can use yellow mustard but it will be missing some of the “kick” you get from spicy mustard.
