Souped Up Baked Beans Recipes

BETTER BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the baked beans, onion, brown sugar, syrup, ketchup and mustard. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and lay strips of bacon across the top.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is browned and the beans have thickened.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND BAKED BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the celery, carrot and onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes, white beans (and their liquid), baked beans, chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the soup thickens slightly and the tomatoes just start bursting, about 20 minutes.
• Return the sausages to the pot along with the parsley; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving of soup with the cheese.

QUICK AND EASY BAKED BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large soup pot.
• Fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic and meat for about 5 minutes, until tender.
• Add the rest of the ingredients except extra water, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add additional water to desired consistency. I liked mine more like a stew. You may like yours more soupy. It does thicken up!
• Goes great with grilled cheese sandwiches or cornbread muffins.

BEEFED-UP BAKED BEANS AND BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, leaving bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture (including bacon grease) to a slow cooker.
• Cook and stir ground beef in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
• Add pork and beans, kidney beans, butter beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low for 4 hours. Serve with crumbled bacon on top.
