Baked Beans

0 · Sep 15, 2016 · Leave a Comment

We grew up eating baked beans, the baked beans out of a can. They were pretty darn good back then. Little did I know baked beans could be even better.

I was dating a guy from another town before I moved to Vancouver. His parents had a cabin at a lake about halfway between our two little towns. Plus a boat, water skis and all the fun summer toys. We spent our summer at this cabin with his family and friends having a good old time – the summer of 1989! There was this one time his mom cooked up a big batch of home made beans for our farewell BBQ. I am pretty sure I still have that recipe since she wrote it out for me. This is how I learned beans could be more than just out of a can.

I became more adventurous with baked beans when I got married. Some of the recipes we enjoy are these Smoky White Beans and Salsa Baked Beans. Several years ago my father in laws girlfriend Paulette introduced us to her baked beans with all kinds of yummy extras. I’ve had them a few times and they are really good. She shared the recipe with me and I will share it with you soon. It was Paulette’s use of large canned ready to eat beans, with an added flavour boost, that inspired me to make these beans.

Baked beans are oh so popular here in Calgary around Stampede time. They are a delicious side to any BBQ fair and we love to serve them with our Beef on a Bun. We’ve made these beans for a camping potluck and in the slow cooker.

This recipe makes enough for a big potluck or crowd. You will want to cut the recipe in half for smaller groups.

Baked Beans
Author: Wanda Baker
Recipe type: side, dinner, lunch
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
  • ½ package bacon
  • 2 cans baked beans, 1.36L
  • 1 can pineapple tidbits
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favourite)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • salt
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in a dutch oven or heavy bottom pot over medium heat until cooked through. Do not cook until crispy as they will continue to cook with the beans. Rough chop and set aside.
  2. Drain half of the bacon fat into a jar for later use and keep the rest in your pot.
  3. Pour both cans of beans in the pot. Add pineapple tidbits and stir.
  4. In a small bowl mix together BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard and maple syrup. Add a small pinch of salt. Stir in BBQ mixture and bacon.
  5. Bring beans to a boil then reduce to low simmer stirring regularly. Let cook 30-60 minutes and sit 15 minutes before serving. They will thicken as they sit.

  • Surprise surprise we fondued again this weekend. This time a marinated sesame chicken in broth + a cheese fondue made with a porter (beer). Lots of great flavour happening and too much chicken!
.
We finished with a small bowl of chicken soup using the leftover broth with some vermicelli noodles and sliced green scallions I had on stand by. Another amazing fondue is in the books!
.
Leftover uncooked chicken went into our chicken chow mein 😍😉

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!

  • -28 with the wind chill is no deterrent when it comes to trying hot chocolate during @yychotchocolatefest. This is the Frozen Hot Chocolate Gelato from @fiascogelato and it is so delicious that you completely forget its ahem frozen and -28 out side.
.
It's available until February 28th but do check their opening hours before you go as they are closed Sundays.
