Instructions

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, chop finely separately.
  2. Drain, rinse and drain the beans. Measure the different liquids.
  3. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the bacon cubes in it and brown them lightly. Then add the onion and sauté briefly. Also add the garlic and tomato paste and stir in. Then fill up with water, beer, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mustard, brown sugar, paprika and a little cayenne pepper to the sauce. Finally add the beans. Let the whole thing simmer with the lid closed over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Stir every now and then, if it is still too runny towards the end of the cooking time, just keep cooking a little with the lid open. Season to taste and add cayenne pepper, brown sugar or whiskey if you like. We eat the beans relatively sweet.
  4. If you prepare the beans the day before, they`ll taste a little better. We love them with spare ribs. Leftovers (if there are any) can be frozen without any problems.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
