Test Kitchen Tip

These beans already have some kick, but if you want them even spicier, add more Tabasco.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings.

Add onions and garlic to skillet; sweat over medium heat until onions soften, 5 minutes.

Deglaze skillet with bourbon; cook until nearly evaporated.

Stir in black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and bacon; season with salt. Transfer beans to prepared dish and bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
