Root Beer Baked Beans are always the surprising hit at any barbecue or potluck! Three types of beans in a thick sweet and tangy sauce!

ROOT BEER BAKED BEANS

Baked Beans are pretty much a staple side dish for a lot of our meals in the summer. I thought I'd play around with my usual recipe and add more of a variety of beans and flavors. This dish is super filling and you could even add cooked ground beef to this and make it a meal. The root beer flavor can't really be tasted in these beans, but it adds a nice little sweetness and flavor in the background.

Would it hurt to use Diet Root Beer? We need to keep the sugar count low in this household.
