Smoky and Spicy Baked Beans

Jim asked 3 times if I had really made these. He loved them. They were so easy and tasted like beans that take hours. I got this recipe from Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade, Grilling 2. We had Nathan's hot dogs and salad with these beans. This was a school day.
Prep: 15 minutes
Grill: 30 minutes

I was intrigued with this recipe as it uses Bush’s baked beans. I’ve never liked them. I liked what she did to them. You need a cast iron skillet.

1 slice bacon chopped
1 med. red onion diced
2- 28 oz. cans of Bush’s baked beans
1 12 oz can root beer
¼ C Worcestershire sauce
1/4C Ketchup
1/4C yellow mustard
3T molasses
3 T chili-garlic sauce (Chinese)
Warm the grill to medium heat. Set an 8” cast iron skillet on grill to preheat. Add bacon and cook long enough to render fat. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Cook onion in bacon grease until soft. Return bacon to skillet. Stir in baked beans and all remaining ingredients. Cover the grill and cook for about 30 minutes. Stir once or twice.

Jim served Terra Barossa from Australia. Way too good for hot dogs.
