Dressed Up Baked Beans Recipes

PERFECTLY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Fry the regular chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet until the bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Add the onions, peppers and jalapenos, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and chipotles, and bring to a simmer. (If the skillet is not large enough, add the beans and heat to a simmer and then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients). Pour the flavored beans into an aluminum pan. Top with the uncooked slices of bacon (you can halve the slices if you like). Then bake until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

BETTER THAN BEST BAKED BEANS!

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!
