Try the baked beans alone or as a delicious side dish to any grilled meal. Simply sprinkle with cooked and crimbled bacon before serving. Ingredients:
1 (8.5-oz.) french bread baguette |
vegetable cooking spray |
5 thick hickory-smoked bacon slices |
1/2 cup diced sweet onion |
1 (28-oz.) can baked beans |
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger |
1 tablespoon yellow mustard |
2 teaspoons diced pickled jalapeño peppers |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
toppings: chopped fresh rosemary, queso fresco (fresh mexican cheese), spicy barbecue sauce, pickled jalapeño pepper slices, hot sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to 400° to 450° (high) heat. Cut bread into 40 (1/4-inch-thick) slices, discarding ends. Coat 1 side of each bread slice with cooking spray. Grill bread slices, without grill lid, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon.
3. Sauté onion in hot drippings 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in beans and next 5 ingredients; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated and slightly thickened. Spoon bean mixture onto grilled bread slices. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Serve with desired toppings.
4. Note: We tested with Bush's Best Country Style Baked Beans. Instead of grilling, bread slices may be baked on a baking sheet at 350° for 8 minutes or until lightly toasted.
