Have it your way Baked Beans

Place about 25-30 coals in a charcoal chimney, or BBQ, light and wait until they just begin to turn grey. At this point, they are ready for use!


I call it "have it your way" baked beans because you have options to make it just the way you like!

Place 10 coals under Dutch oven, heat for a few minutes.


Ingredients:

Start with EITHER:

1 large onion & 1 stick butter    --  OR --  1 large onion 
1/2 lb of left over beef brisket,                 1/2 lb bacon
tri tip or burnt ends


chop onion, saute' in                         cut bacon and cook, wick up most of
1/2 stick melted butter                      the grease with paper towel, then sauté 
add meat                                            chopped onion

1  28 oz can your favorite BUSH'S baked beans UNDRAINED

4  15 oz cans your favorite beans such as, kidney, black, pinto, garbanzo, 
                    butter beans, or white beans  DRAINED

DO NOT drain the Bush's beans, but DO drain the other cans, reserving 1 C of liquid.

When the onions are cooked to translucent color, add UNDRAINED Bush's beans
and the DRAINED beans from 4 cans.


NEXT, add 1  18oz jar SEEDLESS fruit preserves, such as cherry, peach, etc.

ADD 9 to 18 oz of your favorite BBQ sauce.  Keep in mind, if you add a "sweet" BBQ sauce it will have a sweeter taste than a BBQ sauce that has a "vinegar taste"  (I used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ)
You can also add the remaining butter if you wish.

Stir it all together, Cover and place coals around the entire rim of the lid.  

Check the oven every 45 min or so to make sure it is maintaining a simmer, and to make sure the liquid is still sufficient. Add liquid if needed.

Cook beans 2-3 hours, being sure to check it.


ONLY use wooden spoons to stir!  NO METAL, it will scratch the oven.

I have made this recipe twice, and it is an immediate HIT!!! Even people who normally don't care for baked beans have told me they love it!!! The variety of beans in taste and color make it intriguing and it tastes wonderful with the sweet/sour taste of preserves and BBQ sauce!

Please feel free to share this recipe, just give me credit for it! I want lots of followers on my Blog!

Also, PLEASE let me know if you have tried any of the recipes I have (and will) post. I'd love to hear!

  1. “When I was introduced to Mr. Lee Ben ( A Loan Officer), I was entering the market as a first time home buyer.My needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions, before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer ben lee contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+1-989-394-3740 to anyone looking for a loan in any market. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely.
