Recipes from the 1950s can range anywhere from strange to truly groundbreaking. One such baked beans recipe calls for a vintage soda, 7 Up, alongside tomatoes and bacon.
The 7 Up Baked Beans recipe also requires condiments, like sugar, molasses, "catsup," vinegar, and Worcestershire, along with diced veggies to round out the flavor.
Aside from the 7 Up, the ingredients are pretty standard for baked beans. The sweetness of the 7 Up likely wouldn't affect the flavor and would even add some extra caramelization.
The lemon and lime may sound strange, but they could underscore the vinegar nicely, with just a hint of tartness, rather than excessive candied citrus.
