Baked Beans recipes

Knit-Chick — Fri, 27 May 2022 12:20:17 GMT

I usually don't make them completely from scratch. i start with a couple cans of baked beans and then add in ketchup, brown sugar or molasses, chopped onions and some spices.

Does anyone have a recipe to share? Thanks! And have safe holiday weekend!

My favorite, tried and true.

Baked Beans

1/2 pound bacon

1 lb. gound beef

1/4 to 1/2 cup onion, chopped

1 can butter beans, drained

2 cans kidney beans, (drain one can)

28 oz. can pork and beans

In large skillet, dice and cook the bacon until crisp; set aside. Brown ground beef and onion. Drain it. Add remaining ingredients and bacon. Put in baking dish, Bake uncovered for 1 hr and 1/2 half @ 300 degrees

@Knit-Chick Growing up I'm sure if anyone ever asked how to make baked beans, I would have said they shoulr start by opening a can! My mother made them the way you do, but if there were a few pieces of staling bread in the box, she's butter them lightly, teay them cubes and add a topping. I still remember I loved that crunch.

I still use the basic recipe and pretend to myself that not adding the buttery crust makes them healthy!

@Knit-Chick My mother-in-law used to make what she called "6 Bean Bake"...Same ingredients as you mentioned...but she added additional beans..black, light and dark kidney, sometimes Lima ...even a few green beans in addition to the the baked beans.
She would also include either fried ground beef or sausage. I don't care for sausage so I always requested the beef. Truthfully, I am not a fan of beans ...but this was delicious.
Even the grandkids like it. 🤗

Here is my go- to beans---got it from a former friend years ago. I use Grillin' Beans . Also add a jalapeno pepper sometimes too. I never get to bring any home --they get eaten up. And I cut down the brn sugar to 1/4 cup. I drain the beans a little too.

ORANGE BAKED BEANS

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 T butter
1-22 0z can baked beans
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T catsup
1 1/2 T orange juice concentrate
1 t yellow mustard
1- 11oz can mandarin oranges, drained

In a 2 qt bowl, combine onion, celery and butter. Microwave at high for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes, or until tender.

Stir in remaining ingredients except mardarin oranges.

Microwave on high for 3 minutes.

Mix in oranges and microwave another 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated

I usually make every thing from scratch. But this is a quick fix in a pinch.....

*Can of Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans

Measurements are to taste:

Tablespoon of mustard (I use dijon)

3 tablespoons of maple syrup (or molasses)

Quick and easy....the improvement is significant

*We are traveling and currently in Texas. It is difficult to find the Vegetarian Bush's beans in several states.

Approximately 16 serving??!! With 92 oz of beans, seems like enough to serve a small army!!!😀😁

Re: Baked Beans recipes

walker — Fri, 27 May 2022 19:22:45 GMT

@vabreeze ...🤣....maybe I should pass this recipe to the military! Ha! When I made it, we ate beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Just kidding but I have not made it since and won't until I have a large gathering. After I fixed it for just two of us, I thought....what were you thinking?🤣 I did freeze some and it worked out fine.

Any of you make baked beans without tomatoes, sauce, ketchup, etc.?

I tasted a brown baked bean dish at a gathering and it was sweet. Sooooo good. Never found out who made them.

Anyone make these?

I add a squirt of ketchup and barbeque sauce. Wonder if there was a lot of brown sugar in the beans you liked. My recipe calls for brown sugar, but also for some cider vinegar to make them tangy and not so sweet.

@Zhills

My guess is that baked bean dish had molasses and brown sugar. I'm not a big tomato base/ketchup fan in baked beans.
