    These Root Beer Baked Beans are fabulous! I regularly make them for BBQ's and they never last long. A keeper for sure.
    Root Beer Baked Beans

    There's nothing better than baked beans when having a BBQ. There's just something about that combination of flavors that make it a BBQ. Everyone seems to have their own favorite baked bean recipe and here is mine, Root Beer Baked Beans!

    Root Beer Baked Beans

    I've posted baked bean recipes before (Ranch Style Beans and Sweet Mango Baked Beans) but this baked beans recipe is my favorite. The weird thing is I was never a fan of Root Beer growing up. Go figure!

    Do you ever wonder where bakes beans come from? I mean baking beans must've been around for hundreds of years right? Since I have a curious mind, I decided to visit my favorite site to look up the history of baked beans. This is what I learned about the history of baked beans.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

    Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it's cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. By just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.
