BEANS, BEANS THE MUSICAL FRUIT……
Always a classic! I was so in
the mood for some goooood baked beans the other night. I put this recipe
together and could not believe how simple it was and how ah-mazing it tasted.
It was a spur of the moment side dish so I did not take the time to take step
by step pictures.
I know that classic baked
beans are baked, but I just did this on my stove top. I If you would like to go
classic with your beanies, probably 30 to 40 minutes in the oven would do it.
6-8 slices of bacon, cut into
bite sized pieces
3 15 oz cans pork and
beans
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
dash of liquid smoke (opt)
I like to precut my bacon into
bite size pieces before I cook it, makes things a lot easier and a lot less
greasy. In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. I made mine
extra crisp because it softens in the beanies and I wanted nice bacon pieces.
Drain onto paper towel, reserving about 1 – 2 tablespoons of the drippings in
skillet. Add diced onion to reserved drippings and cook over medium heat about
4 minutes or until desired tenderness.
In medium sauce pan combine two cans of pork and beans, brown sugar, ketchup and
Worcestershire sauce. Stir in bacon and onions. If you want to add a dash of liquid smoke for a more outdoorsy flavor you can! Cook until sauce thickens and
beans are heated through, about 5-10 minutes. ( Or place in 350 degree oven for
30 – 40 minutes ) If you want to add a dash
of liquid smoke for a more outdoorsy flavor you can!
