This recipe caught my eye as soon as I spotted it and it went on my must try list. I thought it was a very creative use of the ingredients. Both DH & I thought there was something lacking in this recipe flavorwise. The flavor was overwhelmingly tomato-ey and too acidic. I was expecting a sweet flavor with a coffee note in the background and was disappointed. I used the tomato paste option (and only 6 ozs). Maybe that is the problem. These are also prepared entirely on the stovetop and tended to stick unless the heat was very low. I thought it might have been better to place in the oven for the simmer period, but that would have eliminated the quick cooking aspect.
I served with BBQ sandwiches and slaw. Thank you for your entry in RSC #10.

I made this tonight with grilled hamburgers and Barefoot Contessa's Herb Potato Salad and it was a wonderful addition. I did add more mustard right before serving, but other then that I did not change a thing. This is a great sweet dish that takes hardly any effort. I bet a jalapeno would be a great addition a bit more liqueur for us adults. Great Submission Chef! Good Luck! RSC #10

Regretfully, this recipe did not go over well with my family who loves both baked beans and great northern beans. I carefully followed instructions using the tomato paste option but the resulting consistency was very thick and gooey, almost gelatinous. My subsequent attempts to improve upon the texture by stirring in additional water were only semi-successful and, once served, my family did not like the taste of this dish. I think this recipe has potential, but would recommend NOT using tomato paste when making it.

This is called Kahlua baked beans???? The Kahlua doesn`t come through maybe with an addition of some instant coffee would enhance it. As for baked it doesn`t happen??? I did love the quick and easy method but the taste of baked beans was missing. I did enjoy the pop of the tomatoes when eating. More like a bean stoup! I used 3 different kind of beans. Thanks.

I like Baked Beans and I love this short cut to baked bean flavor plus! I often add Worchestershire sauce & Maple syrup to a can of beans but with this recipe using great northern beans adding red & green peppers,onion, your own tomatoes and the secret ingredient Kahlua - Mmmm After making the beans and enjoying them I decided that for dinner next night I would place the beans with 2 smoked Bavarian sausages and just reheat them - we loved them. Good luck in the contest

I would not consider these Baked Beans at all. But, they were very tasty and DH liked them a lot. I would have preferred a little heat, such as the jalapenos that were included in the choices for RSC. But all in all, I thought it was good. Very different for us. I used the petite diced tomatoes in the can for this as I can't find any worth buying right now. These are a 5 star as left over according to DH. He absolutely loved these. Good luck.
