Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, grab a large mixing bowl and dump in the baked beans. They are the star of the show, and I love that they come ready to use—less prep time means more time for fun! Now, pour in that cup of root beer, and believe me, you’re going to love how it adds a special twist to the beans. Then add the brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until it’s well combined, and you can start to smell that magical scent.
