Cowboy Homemade Baked Beans Recipes

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.

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.
