Barbecue Beans with Coffee and Bourbon

Let the slow cooker be the star of your next cookout instead of the grill with these flavorful beans that are slow-simmered in a zesty barbecue sauce made with coffee, bourbon, and maple syrup. Whoever coined the phrase “lip-smackin’ good” surely had these beans in mind. For soy-free, omit the soy sauce and use a soy-free sauce (purchased or homemade) or add some soy-free vegetable broth base or additional salt.
