"BETTER THEN BUSH'S" BAKED BEANS



I'd have to say that this is a labor of love dish, but I give you my word that this recipe is better than Bush's. Enjoy! Oh, and also this recipe is easily doubled. In fact, I think it turns out better when it is.

BETTER THAN BEST BAKED BEANS!



Better Than Best Baked Beans! image

I got this recipe from a PACE Salsa summer pocket cookbook many years ago. It is a simple method to dress up canned baked beans. I have adjusted the ingredients/measurements for our personal tastes and I freepour everything, but had to provide measurements. Use the measurements as a guide only. I am always asked for the recipe or to bring them to BBQs and potlucks. They are quick, easy and without the hassle of making beans from scratch. The cumin and salsa gives them the kick and unique taste that have people coming back for more. I also make a big batch to ensure leftovers and put in the freezer. If you go camping, the frozen baked beans in ziploc bags make excellent icepacks! Enjoy! Edited to add: I make this in a 6 qt crockpot and the recipe as posted below fits perfectly.

Time 4h30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb bacon
2 large onions, chopped
4 (28 ounce) cans baked beans, any flavor, I use Bushes
1/4 cup ketchup (more or less to taste)
2 cups chunky salsa, I use Chi Chi's or Pace (mild, medium or hot to taste, I use hot)
2 tablespoons honey or 1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 tablespoons ground cumin (to taste, I free sprinkle it and add more to taste as it slo cooks)
1 tablespoon red chili pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Fry bacon in frying pan.
  • I cut into bite sized pieces with scissors before frying.
  • As bacon fries, chop onions.
  • When bacon is finished, remove from pan,drain and wrap in paper towels to absorb grease.
  • Saute onions in bacon fat til translucent.
  • Pour into strainer, but not necessary to rinse or pat with paper towel.
  • For me, straining is enough.
  • Pour canned beans into 6 Qt Crockpot.
  • Stir in bacon, onions, ketchup, Salsa, Brown Sugar and cumin, mixing very well.
  • Stir often.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours, then switch to low for another two hours, well ahead of serving as it tastes even better the longer you allow the flavors to blend together.
  • If I'm making them for a party, I make them early morning for that night or even the night before, cooking overnight in the crockpot.
  • They will stay hot for a long time and you can just turn the crockpot back on a couple hours before serving.
  • I taste them often as they're cooking and add more salsa and/or cumin to taste.
  • We like to taste the cumin, but if you don't that's ok.
  • Recipe is easily halved or doubled.
  • I never measure anything- I add all ingredients for our taste preferences.
  • Freezes VERY well and you can reheat in microwave or in crockpot once thawed.
  • Leftovers are great the next day!

CHEF MONK'S BETTER'N BUSH'S BAKED BEANS image

Categories     Bean     Side     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Simmer

Yield 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound dry great Northern beans - aka Yankee Beans
Splash of olive oil - maybe a teaspoon
A baseball sized onion - coarsely chopped
1 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon dry Thyme
A full up to the first knuckle pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup REAL maple syrup, not the fake stuff
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
Couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce (less if less sodium desired)
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 to xx FRESH pork neck bones (not smoked). Some people use a ham hock or few, I like the neck bones, they're sweeter. You might have to shope where the poor people do to get them.
A bay leaf, break it in half for good luck, VERY important
1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Steps:

  • 1) Soak the beans overnight in water in the refrigerator, or quick soak by boiling for 5 minutes, let sit for an hour, discard water. 2) Bury the neck bones in the beans then cover with water until all is underwater. 3) Put on as low a gas flame as possible. If you don't have gas, move. 4) Cover and simmer. 5) Every five or ten minutes add an ingredient until they're all in there. Don't wear yourself out. 6) Stir each in with a teaspoon. Very important. 7) Simmer this all day. Or as long as you can stand it. The longer the better. Add water s necessary so they don't stick or burn. Don't skimp adding on the water. You can always serve with a slotted spoon. 8) When the place smells so good you can't stand it and the beans are tender. serve and enjoy. 9) Bean-O on request
