Hearty BBQ Baked Beans

"These beans have lots of flavor. I don't care for beans that are to sweet but you can add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to sweeten these up. They go excellent with grilling. I use Bush's original beans and Jack Daniels BBQ sauce but you can use what you prefer. Reduce baking time to 1 hr if you don't like a thick beans."

  1. This was excellent. I am not a big fan of baked beans - too sweet and gooey for me. I substituted a large can of mixed beans and threw in a shot of Jack Daniels. Really good and a lot better the next day.
     
  2. DH and I both thought these were a great way to fix up a can of baked beans. I used Bush's original baked beans and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Perfect with hot dogs!! Made for the Spring 2009 PAC.
     
  3. These beans are just great! I left out the onion (personal pref) otherwise made just as specified, cooking for the 1 1/2 hours to get a nice thick sauce. The thing that sets these beans apart is that they are not sweet, and they are savory without being spicy. Great combination of ingredients - thanks for posting the recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a paramedic in NE Arkansas. I love to eat and I love a lot of flavor. My favorite ingredients are green/red bell peppers, onions and garlic. I use them in almost everything. I go through about 5-6 bell peppers and onions every week. When I'm not at work or cooking I can either be found working on computers or, in the right seasons, out chasing severe weather. I do all the cooking around the house, my gf who lives with me has burnt hamburger helper TWICE now so the stove is off limits to her... And I love cooking with cast iron. I use it more than any other pan in my kitchen. The flavor and ease of cooking is not matched. If you see in a recipe I'm doing something in a skillet, you can bet is cast iron. Just remember on cast iron, stay away from high heat. I rarely go past medium unless I'm trying to get a sauce to simmer, then only medium high. It may take a little longer, but your food doesn't dry out or stick. If you have any question about cooking with cast iron, please zmail me. Oh and if you on a diet or worried about your health, my recipes probably aren't for you. One bite of this stuff could probably clog up your arteries, but at least your digestive tract will be well greased :)
