I've brought this variation of baked beans to many BBQ's, even has made an appearance at Easter dinner - its one of those recipes that people say 'oh would you bring those baked beans again please.' I always make them in the crock-pot, but have included instructions for oven too. Leftovers re-heat very well. Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef |
5 slices bacon, diced |
1/2 medium onion, diced |
1 (16 ounce) can baby butter beans, drained |
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained |
1 (28 ounce) can maple flavored baked beans or 1 (28 ounce) can maple flavored pork and beans, undrained |
1 (16 ounce) can baked beans or 1 (16 ounce) can pork and beans, undrained |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup splenda granular or 1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (hickory or honey flavored) |
2 tablespoons dark molasses |
2 tablespoons mustard (i use honey mustard if i've got it) |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
Directions:
1. Brown beef, onion and bacon over medium high heat.
2. Meanwhile, add all beans to crock-pot.
3. Add beef mixture to beans and stir.
4. Combine remaining ingredients with a whisk and stir into bean mixture.
5. Turn crock-pot to low for at least 4 hours - I have made them farther in advance, they'll get thicker as time goes on.
6. Oven directions: If you'd like to bake them in the oven, pour bean mixture into large dutch oven and bake at 350 for an hour.
