Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

These elevated baked beans take the classic Boston recipe with mustard and molasses and add a twist of teriyaki for a bit of Asian flair.

3 tablespoons lite teriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 can (31 ounce size) pork and beans
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
Combine the teriyaki sauce, molasses, brown sugar, onion, mustard, and beans in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir gently then let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the liquid smoke then serve the beans.
