Baked Beans

July 25, 2012 by Leia

This is my new favorite side dish.

Baked Beans

Sounds simple, right?  Well it is simple, and delish, and you should totally make them.

Start with some bacon.  Cooked and crumbled.

Then sautee some onion in a little of the bacon grease, I like to add a little butter to those cooking onions, too.

Then put the bacon and the onions in your crock pot.  Or large pot to use on the stove, whatever you want.

Add the kidney beans, black beans, and butter beans (all drained and rinsed) to the crock pot.

(Those big white beans are the butter beans, and they are SO good!)

Next add the cans of Van deCamps baked beans, and pork and beans.  (Don’t drain or rinse those!)

Then in a separate bowl mix the ingredients for the sauce.

Ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper.

Pour the sauce over all the beans, and give it all a quick stir.

 Be careful not to mash your beans.  Top everything with some grated cheese.  I prefer pepper jack, it gives the beans a subtle kick that I just love.  But you can use pretty much whatever cheese you want.Let the cheese sit on top and melt for awhile before stirring it in.

Hello there!

Hi there! My name is Leia. I love to eat. Good thing I also love to cook and bake. ;)
I think food can bring people together. I value family dinners and sharing good conversations over a slice of pie or some saucy nachos. Food makes people happy, and I want to help with that. Let's dig deeper →
