- 6hrs
- Ingredients:

- Serves:
-
5-8
ingredients
- 2 cups pinto beans
- 1 cup black turtle beans
- 1 cup small red beans
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1 large red onion
- 2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
- 1 (4 ounce) can green chili peppers
- 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- salt
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
- 2 cups brown sugar
directions
- Wash beans and mix them together in a pan of water (You can change the ratio the goal is to make it pretty).
- Bring the beans to a boil and turn off the heat. Let them set for 1 hour.
- Rinse them in cold water until the water runs clear and they stop making bubbles. (This takes the gas out of them)
- Cover the beans with water, bring them to a boil and simmer until tender.
- (Never salt beans until they are completely done cooking!).
- While the beans simmer chop the onion and saute it with the italian seasoning, the chili powder, green chili peppers, garlic, and cayenne in a skillet. I suggest cutting the onion in large pieces instead of mincing it but that is optional.
- Add the Hamburger. (You can also use any ground meat including sausage. which by the way is wonderful and adds its own spice. Elk meat or Venison is also delicious)
- Saute the hamburger, onions and spices together until the burger is done. Again I don't cut the burger in small pieces but leave it in large chunks.
- When the beans are tender add the burger mixture and tomatoes and salt to taste.
- Add the brown sugar slowly taste testing alot until it is sweet enough. Then pour in the bottle of BBQ sauce. Mix it together and taste it again.
- It should be sweet until you swallow then hit you with the pepper heat.
- Make adjustments to your own taste.
- Once you get the flavor just how you want it let it simmer until you are ready to serve. The longer it simmers the better it will be.
- Serve topped with cheddar cheese and paired with Deep Skillet Cornbread.
- Makes a good Planover meal. Can be frozen.
