welcome back everyone we are making root
0:03
beer baked beans the perfect side dish
0:07
for your barbecue or picnic or just bake
0:11
them for your house
0:13
we are going to start off with some
0:14
bacon and we're going to cook this down
0:17
and add some flavor to these beans and
0:20
I'm just using some original baked beans
0:23
and we're going to flavor these up we
0:25
got ground beef going into it also so it
0:28
can be just a full meal because we got
0:30
peppers and onions all right you guys
0:32
we're going to start with the bacon
0:34
first because we need that bacon grease
0:36
and you want to start in a cold pan
0:42
you need about six to eight pieces of
0:44
bacon i'm going to put these all close
0:46
together
0:47
and six all right we're going to turn
0:50
this on a medium high heat and we're
0:52
gonna get this nice and golden brown
0:54
nice and crispy now while the bacon's
0:57
cooking we're going to get our little
0:58
veggies ready now I'm using a pablano
1:01
which is kind of a medium heat or you
1:04
can use jalapenos which is a higher heat
1:07
level or you can just use a green bell
1:10
pepper which will keep it very mild i'm
1:12
using two small onions and I have five
1:16
cloves of garlic and I'm just going to
1:17
dice these up all right I'm just going
1:19
to take the top off and take all the
1:21
seeds out
1:25
we're going to cut it into strips oh it
1:27
smells good it's going to add a nice
1:29
flavor i like the medium then once we
1:31
cut these in strips we're going to dice
1:33
them
1:37
what's your heat level hot medium or
1:40
mild hot
1:44
keep in mind the other people that have
1:45
to eat the beans also all right
1:51
let's get the onion
1:55
so I'm just taking off the outer layer
1:58
both ends and then we'll just chop this
2:00
up a little bigger than a mint all right
2:03
I just cut the onion in half we're just
2:05
going to make slices
2:14
and then we're going to just dice them
2:16
up
2:25
let's cook these up all right we're
2:27
going to turn over the bacon you always
2:29
want to keep an eye on it because we
2:30
want it nice and crisp not burnt on a
2:33
cast iron you kind of want to move your
2:35
bacon around so if it's cooking faster
2:38
on one side just move it
2:41
all right let's remove the bacon
2:46
now we're going to add the peppers to it
2:49
all right let's add it to the oil from
2:51
our bacon you want about 3 tablespoon
2:54
of oil in there if you have a lot from
2:58
your bacon then remove oil until you
3:01
have about 3 tablespoons in there
3:06
we're going to cook this until the
3:07
peppers are nice and soft and have a
3:10
little char to them
3:13
while these are cooking it'll just take
3:15
a few minutes because they're going to
3:16
still cook
3:18
with the beans
3:22
now I have five cloves of garlic here
3:24
that's already been peeled
3:26
i'm just going to mash them
3:33
and we'll run our knife through it
3:39
all
3:46
right we'll hang on to this for just a
3:49
minute
3:54
all right these are looking nice and
3:55
brown soft we're going to add our garlic
3:58
to it
4:00
do about three teaspoons
4:03
we are flavoring up this dish today
4:09
we're going to cook this for one minute
4:17
we're going to add one pound of ground
4:19
beef break it up
4:24
we're going to cook this until the
4:25
ground beef is browned up no longer pink
4:30
want little pieces
4:32
now I'm using a 12 in cast iron skillet
4:36
or you can use a regular skillet to do
4:39
this now if you're doing that and it's
4:41
not oven safe you can move it all into a
4:44
9 by13 baking dish and cook it in the
4:47
oven that way but if you have an
4:49
ovenproof skillet like what I'm using
4:52
right here it's all going to go in here
4:54
and then it's going to go popped into
4:56
the oven
4:58
as easy as that
5:01
we're going to go ahead and flavor the
5:03
ground beef and the pepper and the onion
5:05
with a little bit of salt
5:10
we got to flavor all of those layers
5:15
not many layers of this dish here it's
5:16
all going to be cooked together so
5:20
I would say about a/4 of a teaspoon each
5:24
black pepper we've got two 16oz cans of
5:30
baked beans these are the original
5:35
always take that little piece out i
5:36
don't like it
5:40
we're going to add it to our cooked
5:41
ground beef peppers and onions
5:51
all right we're going to mix
5:55
going to leave some of these beans out
5:58
all right let's mix this in
6:02
don't mush your beans
6:06
we're going to flavor these up
6:09
here's the main ingredient
6:12
whatever root beer you like we're going
6:15
to put one cup
6:19
It's about half of this bottle that
6:21
looks good 8 oz barbecue sauce this is a
6:26
honey barbecue sauce it's about half the
6:29
bottle here woo yeah and then right on
6:32
that we're going to add a tablespoon of
6:35
Dijon mustard one tablespoon of chili
6:39
powder y'all did not see that happen
6:43
i saw it
6:45
i'll put it on replay for you i know
6:48

6:56
about half a teaspoon we're going to add
6:58
in some salt and some pepper
7:03
about a/4 to half a teaspoon each we're
7:06
going to blend this all together
7:15
frosty
7:18
all right we're going to take a spoon go
7:20
in because it's the only time you're
7:21
going to be able to make any adjustments
7:23
give it a taste
7:26

7:36
potatoes that's all we need all right
7:38
we're going to put this in the oven i
7:40
have it preheated at 375°
7:43
now if you don't have an ovenproof
7:47
skillet move it over to a 9 by13
7:51
i would spray it a little bit with some
7:52

7:54
