How to Make Amazing Kahlua Baked Beans

  1. Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down to your desired consistency. Use the back of a spoon to help break down larger pieces if needed.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the brown sugar, Kahlua, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
  5. Add the drained and rinsed baked beans, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Cover the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the beans are heated through and have absorbed the sauce.
  7. Uncover and taste. Adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, mustard) as needed.
  8. Simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
