COWBOY BAKED BEANS RECIPE (OVEN OR SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Decide if you are going to make them in a slow cooker or bake in the oven. You can use a deep casserole dish or large pot like a dutch oven. I like a large heavy cast iron pot so I can cook in it and finish baking all in one. Slow cookers are great for parties to keep them warm for several hours.
• Chop the sliced uncooked bacon into small pieces, over medium heat, brown the bacon in a heavy cast-iron skillet or a large cast iron dutch oven on the stove top using a wooden spoon. Tip, you can cut the bacon into small pieces with clean kitchen scissors right into the pot-I find this faster!
• Remove the crispy cooked bacon to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Don't remove the bacon drippings from the pan. Next add the chopped onion and brown for 5-6 minutes until translucent, add the minced garlic, stir for one minute.
• Next, brown the ground beef, cook for 6-8 minutes. Next, add the bacon, back in with the cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic.
• Next, add 3 cans of baked beans (don't drain), 2 cans of kidney beans (drain), 1 can of cannellini beans (drain), and 2 cans of black beans (drain).
• Add the remaining ingredients; brown sugar, cider vinegar, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Stir all the ingredients well to combine.
• Place into the slow cooker or large dutch oven or large deep casserole dish. The baked beans usually doesn't all fit in one standard 9 x 13, you need a deeper dish.
• Cook in slow cooker crockpot on low for 2 hours OR bake 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours in a large covered dish. Serve hot.

COWBOY BEANS (CROCK-POT)

Steps:

• Rinse and drain picking out all the rocks/debris/skins -- Cover with water to soak overnight.
• Dump water and rinse again. Put garlic and onion in the crockpot add beans and water (or broth). Cook on low for about 9 hours- they need to be a bit on the firm side but not crunchy.
• After the beans reach the right consistency, drain and remove the garlic- you can either toss them or mash them and reserve to add to the bacon fat in the next step. Cook the bacon either on the stove or in the oven so that the fat can be reserved and bacon crumbled.
• Put bacon fat in the bottom of a heavy pot- medium heat (if you like your beans a bit spicy you can saute minced jalapeno to the bacon fat before adding beans- I love to add tomatillos and jalapenos). Add all the beans and start mashing with a potato masher. Add the beer and keep mashing. When it is as mashed as you like lower the heat and cook off the beer stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
• Top with crumbled bacon, cheese, pico or just go crazy.

• Place bacon, ground beef, onion, ketchup, and brown sugar in a slow cooker; mix well. Add baked beans, Great Northern beans, pinto beans, and pork and beans.

THE BEST HOMEMADE COWBOY BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the dried navy beans in a large pot covered by a few inches of water and leave to soak overnight. Drain the beans then place them back in the pot with fresh water and bring to a boil. Simmer the beans for one hour, or until tender, then drain, reserving all the liquid. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. In a 6 qt Dutch oven fry the bacon until crispy. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add ground beef and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the fat from the pan. Stir in the BBQ sauce, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and salt. Add 2 cups of the reserved bean water and all the beans. Transfer the Dutch oven with the lid on to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 2 to 3 hours or until the sauce has thickened, removing the lid during the last 20-30 minutes to help the sauce thicken more. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
