How to Make Mexican Baked Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 (15-ounce) cans of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup of beer (any kind, but a dark beer adds nice flavor), 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1-2 jalapeño peppers (minced, adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart casserole dish (or a similar sized oven-safe dish).
  5. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork; if it goes in easily, the beans are done.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
