Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter

- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 - 28-ounce cans original baked beans
- ¾ cup Dr.Pepper
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon cooked and crumbled

- Add the beans and seasonings. Add the brown sugar, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and stir until well combined and all the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the beans and bacon. Stir in the beans, Dr. Pepper, and crumbled, cooked bacon. It will appear watery but it will thicken as it cooks.
