• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) can baked beans
• 2 ounces Irish whiskey
• black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 slices white bread, toasted

directions

1. Heat a skillet over med-high heat; add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5 minutes.
2. Add in the onions; decrease heat to medium; cook the onions with the bacon until they are soft, 5-6 minutes.
3. Stir in the baked beans; heat the beans through, then decrease heat to low.
4. Remove pan from heat; add in the whiskey and stir it in; then return pan to the heat.
5. If the whiskey flames, the flame will die out in less than 10 seconds—just be prepared.
6. For a full whiskey-spiked flavor, the trick is to avoid the flame and just warm the alcohol; think hot toddy.
7. Season the spiked beans with black pepper.
8. Combine the softened butter with the honey; spread the mixture evenly over the toast; serve the beans with honey-buttered toast.
