From "Cuisine At Home Magazine" With smoky bacon, sweet root beer, and a buttery bread crumb topping, everyone’s sure to enjoy these appetizing baked beans. I recently made these beans, only I realized (too late) that I didn't have root beer extract. I continued on, and skipped the buttery bread crumbs, too. Still, these beans were a hit, as everyone went back for seconds. They are smoky, a little sweet and very flavorful. Plus, they are super easy to make with canned pinto beans. I'll be making them again-- and I just might have to find some root beer extract, this time!
