About this recipe

These bourbon baked beans aren’t your average side dish — they’re sweet, smoky, and have just the right hint of bourbon warmth. Navy beans simmer with sautéed onion, green pepper, and crispy bacon, all baked together in a tangy-sweet sauce made with ketchup, Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, Kikkoman® Umami Joy Sauce, and a splash of bourbon. The result? Cozy comfort food with a bold twist. Whether you’re firing up the grill or want a laid-back side for dinner, this bourbon baked beans recipe delivers big flavor with very little effort.

Tips & Tricks

  • Want to make crock pot baked beans instead? Sauté the bacon, onion, and pepper, then combine everything in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  • For a punchier flavor, increase the bourbon to 2 tablespoons—or swap in maple syrup for a booze-free twist.
  • Looking for a vegetarian version? Swap the bacon for a dash of liquid smoke or smoked paprika.

ingredients

2 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
½ cup yellow onion, chopped
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Umami Joy Sauce
½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
2 cans (15 oz each) navy beans or great northern beans, drained and rinsed

directions

  1. Preheat to 350°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan.
  2. In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add onion and green pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki marinade & sauce, Umami Joy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, bourbon, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, and black pepper
  4. Stir in drained beans, cooked onion and pepper, and bacon. Pour into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Uncover and stir gently. Bake an additional 10 minutes, until thick and bubbling.
  5. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
