Recipe blog that post 300 pictures with text in between and bury the recipe at the bottom of the page (if they are kind enough to post the recipe that way instead of letting you pick it out of the unneccessary images and blabbering text.)
I've had requests for some recipes. I like to pin to Pinterest anyway, but there aren't enough character for the recipe so putting them here is literally just to make it easy for me to pin my own things. There ya go.
I did not have the foresight to get pictures of the baked beans last time I made them so maybe I'll make them again soon and add to this post.
Guys! To follow my recipes you usually have to have a 6th sense about food. Some measurements are estimates!
BAKED BEANS
Give yourself 12-18 hours. Add 18 hours if you plan to soak the beans yourself.
5 cans of beans (or the equivalent should be soaked a minimum of 18 hours)
I start with
1 can black beans
1 can dark kidney beans
1 can butter beans
From there, pick your favorites or whatever is one sale. I recommend the following (pick 2)
Anasazi
White Northern
Navy
Put all the beans, drained and rinsed, into a crock pot (minimum 4 quart)
1/2 bottle BBQ sauce (something with hickory smoke is best)
1/4 cup mustard OR 2 Tbsp fresh ground mustard/dry mustard powder)
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 8 oz cans stewed tomatoes (not drained)
Bacon (if desired. I've made it vegetarian and been perfectly happy!)
1 small can Green chili (not drained)
The following are "to taste", but I put a guess after it....
Pepper 2 Tbsp
Worcestershire 2 Tbsp
Liquid smoke 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice 1 Tbsp
Add all ingredients to beans in crock pot. Cook on low 12-18 hours until it starts to thicken.
If you are in a rush, after 10-12 hours you can force thickening:
1/4 cup corn starch
add just enough cold water to mix the corn starch. Add to baked beans and stir. Give yourself an hour to 90 minutes before your event for the corn starch to take effect.
