    Frequently asked questions

    What can you serve with sweet soda baked beans?

    My favorite thing to serve with these beans is a main course of Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with BBQ sauce, Corn Casserole in the Crock Pot or cornbread. These would also make a great side for ribs.

    Can I make these with dry beans?

    Yes, you can. I find using canned beans a lot easier and they work better with my busy schedule. If you are looking to make cola beans with dry beans, it will be more labor intensive but also delicious. Must Love Home has a great recipe for From Scratch Cola Baked Beans.

    What kind of soda works best for cola baked beans?

    I have had the best experience with Coca Cola.
