Logging today’s attempt at healthifying a family's sensational hand down recipe. It’s rich, smoky, a little sweet. Yum Almost all the prep time is soaking and most of cook time is simmering. Not a whole lot of hands on time. I’m guessing on serving amount. Ingredients:
2 cups dried baby lima beans |
1/2 cup dried red beans |
1/2 cup dried white bean |
24 ounces tomato juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped |
1 lb ground beef |
1 tablespoon liquid smoke |
3 tablespoons vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon red pepper |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
1/3 cup sugar-free syrup |
1/3 cup imitation bacon bits |
Directions:
1. Rinse all dry beans.
2. Soak all beans overnight or at least 8 hours in cold water.
3. Rinse beans.
4. Brown hamburger and drain. I also rinse with hot water to remove a little more fat.
5. In a large pot bring tomato juice and beans to a boil.
6. Reduce to a simmer.
7. Add all remaining ingredients.
8. Simmer, covered, until desired doneness (3 hours?).
